Lyrics

[00:00.111] I'm puttin' on my top hat
[00:11.377] Tyin' up my white tie
[00:15.127] Brushin' off my tails
[00:19.078] I'm dudein' up my shirt front
[00:24.238] Puttin' in the shirt studs
[00:27.543] Polishin' my nails
[00:30.959] I'm steppin' out, my dear
[00:33.471] To breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class
[00:38.942] And I trust that you'll excuse my dust when I step on the gas
[00:46.678] For I'll be there
[00:50.174] Puttin' down my top hat
[00:53.198] Mussin' up my white tie
[00:56.606] Dancin' in my tails
[01:00.449] I just got an invitation through the mails:
[01:10.110] "Your presence requested this evening, it's formal
[01:13.990] A top hat, a white tie and tails"
[01:17.494] Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails
[01:22.990] Because I'm invited to step out this evening
[01:27.134] With top hat, white tie and tails
[01:30.621] I'm puttin' on my top hat
[01:35.302] Tyin' up my white tie
[01:39.106] Brushin' off my tails
[01:43.030] I'm dudein' up my shirt front
[01:48.430] Puttin' in the shirt studs
[01:52.006] Polishin' my nails
[01:55.590] I'm steppin' out, my dear
[01:57.951] To breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class
[02:03.789] And I trust that you'll excuse my dust when I step on the gas
[02:11.429] For I'll be there
[02:15.109] Puttin' down my top hat
[02:18.285] Mussin' up my white tie
[02:21.709] Dancin' in my tails
