panama hat

"Just before the angels come to carry me

I want it down in writin' how to bury me.

A'wearin... tan shoes with pink shoelaces

A polka dot vest and man, oh, man

Give me tan shoes with pink shoelaces

And a big Panama with a purple hat band!"

 

--Dodie Stevens (aka Geraldine Ann Pasquale, who was 13 in 1959, when she recorded this and scored a gold record.)
