Fred Astaire Top Hat White Tie And Tails Lyrics

Top Hat White Tie And Tails Lyrics

(verse)
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 and white tie and
tails.

(chorus)
I'm puttin' on my top hat,
Tyin' up my white
tie,
Brushin' off my tails.
I'm dudin' 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.
