Hello Dolly Soundtrack Elegance Lyrics

Elegance Lyrics

Cornelius & Barnaby

 Yes, New York

 It's really us

 Barnaby and Cornelius

 Mrs. Molloy & Minnie

 All the guests of Mr. Hackl are

 Feelin' great and look spectacular

 All

 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

 Cornelius

 All who are

 Well-bred agree

 Minnie Fay

 Has pedigree

 Mrs. Molloy

 Exercise your wildest whims tonight

 We are out with diamond Jims tonight

 Minnie

 Could they be

 Misleading us?

 Cornelius & Barnaby

 Silver spoons were used for feeding us

 We got elegance

 If you ain't got elegance

 All

 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

 Minnie

 Vanderbilt

 Kowtows to us

 Cornelius

 J.P. Morgan scrapes and bows to us

 All

 We've got elegance

 We were born with elegance

 Cornelius

 Have you noticed when I hold my cup

 The saucer never moves

 Mrs. Molloy

 And the way I keep my pinky up

 Indubitably proves

 All

 That we got elegance

 We got built in elegance

 And with elegance...elegance...

 Elegance...elegance...elegance

 We'll carry it off!

 

 (THEY exit a moment, and THEY re-enter, now exhausted)
