Top Hat, White Tie And Tails(IRVING BERLIN) - Fred Astaire
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
Ohh I'm putting on my top hat
Tying up my white tie
Brushing off my tails
I'm duding up my shirt front
Putting in the shirt studs
Polishing my nails
I'm stepping 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
Putting down my top hat
Mussing up my white tie
Dancing in my tails
I'm puttin' on my top hat
Tyin' up my white tie
Brushin' off my tails
Yea
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
And dancin' in my tails
