Red Hat Quotes

  With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me,

  And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.

I would just do things that tickled my fancy in the moment, and she would ask me who I was entertaining. I'd say, 'Well, me.' And she would tell me that nobody knew that and they thought I was psychotic. Well, I don't ever want people to think I'm psychotic, but I can't help myself from doing these things.
