Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm puttin' on my top hat Tyin' up my white tie Brushin' off my tails [Verse 2] I'm dudein' up my shirt front Puttin' in the shirt studs Polishin' my nails [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] For i'll be there Puttin' down my top hat Mussin' up my white tie Dancin' in my tails [Preamble] 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 [Verse 1] I'm puttin' on my top hat Tyin' up my white tie Brushin' off my tails [Verse 2] I'm dudein' up my shirt front Puttin' in the shirt studs Polishin' my nails [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] For i'll be there Puttin' down my top hat Mussin' up my white tie Dancin' in my tails
