Top Hat White Tie Andamp; Tails Lyrics

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
