Irving Berlin
Top Hat, White Tie and Tails
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I'm puttin' on my top hat
Tyin' up my white tie
Brushin' off my tails
[Verse 3]
I'm dudein' up my shirt front
Puttin' in the shirt studs
Polishin' my nails
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
For I'll be there
Puttin' down my top hat
Mussin' up my white tie
Dancin' in my tails
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
Ha
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
For I'll be there
Puttin' down my top hat
Mussin' up my white tie
Dancin', I'm really dancin' in my tails
[Outro]
You have to stop bleedin' like this
Woo
