I´m putting on my top hat
Tying up my white tie
Brushing off my tails
I´m duedin´ up my shirt front
Puttin´ in the shirt studs
Pollishing 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
Mussin´ up my tie
Dancin´ in my tails

I just got an invitation through the mail
Your presence requested this evening it´s formal
A top hat, a white tie and tails
Nothing else 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

I´m putting on my top hat
Tying up my white tie
Brushing off my tails
I´m duedin´ up my shirt front
Puttin´ in the shirt studs
Pollishing 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
Mussin´ up my tie
Dancin´ in my tails
