Song: “I Love My Hat” – Linda Adamson: Love to Sing With You
(Sung with hat props.)
I love my hat, my straw hat,
I wear it all year round.
Summer, (make sun circle with arms)
Autumn, (fingers sprinkle down)
Winter, (shiver with arms)
And spring, (star arms to the sky)
I wear my hat with everything!

I love my cap, my baseball cap,
I wear it all year round.
Summer, autumn, winter, and spring,
I wear my hat with everything!

I love my hat, my floppy hat,
I wear it all year round.
Summer, autumn, winter, and spring,
I wear my hat with everything!

I love my hat, my bucket hat,
I wear it all year round.
Summer, autumn, winter, and spring,
I wear my hat with everything!

That spells hats,

Everybody wears them,
Just for fun,
Just for fun.
