Top Hat, White Ties and Tails |
| I just got an invitation through the mails: |
| «Your presence requested this evening, it’s formal |
| A top hat, a white tie and tails» |
| Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails |
| Because I’m invited to step out this evening |
| With top hat, white tie and tails |
| I’m puttin' on my top hat |
| Tyin' up my white tie |
| Brushin' off my tails |
| I’m dudein' up my shirt front |
| Puttin' in the shirt studs |
| Polishin' my nails |
| I’m steppin' out, my dear |
| To breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class |
| And I trust that you’ll excuse my dust when I step on the gas |
| For I’ll be there |
| Puttin' down my top hat |
| Mussin' up my white tie |
| Dancin' in my tails |
| Steppin' out to breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class |
| And I trust that you’ll excuse my dust when I step on the gas |
| I’ll be puttin' down my top hat |
| Mussin' up my white tie |
| Dancin' in my tails, in my tails |
| I’ve got a date 'bout a quarter to eight |
| I better not be late |
| With my top hat, top hat, top hat |
| White tie and my tails |
| My top hat |
| My white tie |
| My tails |
| I’m steppin' out later tonight with my top hat |
