Elegance |
| Yes, New York |
| It’s really us |
| Barnaby and Cornelius |
| All the guests of Mr. Hackl are |
| Feelin' great and look spectacular |
| What a knack |
| There is to that |
| Acting like a born aristocrat |
| We got elegance |
| If you ain’t got elegance |
| You can never ever carry it off |
| All who are |
| Well-bred agree |
| Minnie Fay |
| Has pedigree |
| Exercise your wildest whims tonight |
| We are out with diamond Jims tonight |
| Could they be |
| Misleading us? |
| Silver spoons were used for feeding us |
| We got elegance |
| If you ain’t got elegance |
| You can never ever carry it off |
| Middle class |
| Don’t speak of it |
| Savoir faire |
| We reek of it |
| Some were born with rags and patches but |
| We use dollar bills for matches and |
| Vanderbilt |
| Kowtows to us |
| J.P. Morgan scrapes and bows to us |
| We’ve got elegance |
| We were born with elegance |
| Have you noticed when I hold my cup |
| The saucer never moves? |
| And the way I keep my pinky up |
| Indubitably proves |
| That we got elegance |
| We’ve got built in elegance |
| And with elegance |
| We’ll carry it off! |
