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
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 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
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
