It was all that I had When I racked my mind For something to sell For something to buy It was your birthday I knew what I wanted I had to find a way I looked around At everything that I owned But everything was on loan Or broken Or needed Or a token of affection Or my record collection I had nothin' worth selling 'cept maybe my records So I sat down and went through My dirty old vinyl And made a little stack Some of them Felt like old, old friends Oh lord it was hard Every song on each one Meant the world to someone Like you meant the world to me But I loved you more Than all of those love songs I sold all those songs To buy you a hat You looked so fine in a hat And I'd seen just the one In a very fine shop The deal was nearly done You knew I had no money You expected nothin' But it was your birthday And I wanted to give you something Something above our station Some kind of sweet elation I wanted service Tissue paper wrapped And maybe a box For such a fine hat So with a sinking heart I loaded up my black treasure And set off up the hill The man behind the counter Sure saw me comin' He knew he had it all over me He was used to girls With more heart than money So I handed over Thirty fine records I'll give you fifty bucks he said I almost shook my head Before I bit my lip And took the golden chip And tried not to trip He knew he'd make a killing When I walked away with my shilling Oh my, thirty records Five songs a side Sixty times five Three hundred songs I knew I'd write you far more than that Not a bad trade for a lucky fisherman's hat So I got on the bus With a heart full of joy And imagined your face When the gift came unwrapped The surprise, the embrace Oh, I saw you strutting round My hat your only crown
