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
