Susannah Fellows & Original Studio Cast of Calamity Jane - Keep it Under Your Hat

{KATIE}
Well, now if you've got a cutie
Who's a real sweet patootie
Better keep it under your hat

{Disappointed murmuring}
Just remember curiosity in fables of old
Killed the curious cat

Supposin' you love a laddie
Who's a real sugar daddy
Better take in the welcoming mat
Remember there's a dozen dolls for ev'ry Dan
You're not the only sweet pea in the can
So if you wanna know the way to keep your man
Keep it under your hat, Hattie
Keep it under your hat, Hattie
Keep it under your hat

{MILLER, spoken}
Now listen, men, please-

{CALAMITY, spoken}
Quiet! Listen, Adelaide, why don't you sing out like you do in Chicago?

{KATIE, spoken}
I can't, I can't!

{CALAMITY, spoken}
Why not?

{KATIE, spoken}
Because I'm not Adelaide Adams — I'm Katie Brown!

{PROSPECTOR, spoken}
As long as she's up there, let 'er sing

{MEN, spoken (Ad-libs)}
Okay, give 'er a chance! What've we got to lose? She looks all right. Let's see what she can do! Let 'er sing

{CALAMITY, spoken}
Let 'er rip, Katie Brown! Give 'em all yuh got, and to hell with Adelaide Adams! Do it your own way!

{KATIE}
Well, now if you've got a cutie
Who's a real sweet patootie
Better keep it under your hat
Just remember curiosity in fables of old
Killed the curious cat

Supposin' you love a laddie
Who's a real sugar daddy
Better take in the welcoming mat
Remember there's a dozen dolls for ev'ry Dan
You're not the only sweet pea in the can
So if you wanna know the way to keep your man
Keep it under your hat, Hattie
Keep it under your hat, Hattie
Keep it under your hat

{KATIE & Chorus}
Well, now if you've got a cutie
Who's a real sweet patootie
Better keep it under your hat
Just remember curiosity in fables of old
Killed the curious cat

Supposin' you love a laddie
Who's a real sugar daddy
Better take in the welcoming mat
Remember there's a dozen dolls for ev'ry Dan
You're not the only sweet pea in the can
So if you wanna know the way to keep your man
Keep it under your hat, Hattie
Keep it under your hat, Hattie
Keep it under your hat, hat, hat, hat

{CHORUS & KATIE}
Hat, keep it under your hat! (Hat!)
