Puttin’ on the Style

Lyrics

[Chorus] Puttin' on the agony, puttin' on the style That's what all the young folks are doin' all the while And as we looked around us, we're very apt to smile To see so many people puttin' on the style [Verse 1] Young man home from college makes a great display With a fancy adjective that he can hardly say It can't be found in Webster's, it won't be for a while But we know that he's only puttin' on the style [Chorus] Puttin' on the agony, puttin' on the style That's what all the young folks are doin' all the while And as we looked around us, we're very apt to smile To see so many people puttin' on the style [Verse 2] Young man in a restaurant puffin' on a pipe Lookin' like a pumpkin that's only halfway ripe A-smokin', drinkin', cussin' and thinkin' all the while That there is nothin' equal to puttin' on the style [Chorus] Puttin' on the agony, puttin' on the style That's what all the young folks are doin' all the while And as we looked around us, we're very apt to smile To see so many people puttin' on the style [Verse 3] Sweet sixteen, she goes to school just to see the boys She turns and laughs and giggles at every little noise She turns this way a little, then she turns that way a while But everybody knows she's puttin' on that style [Verse 4] Preacher in the pulpit shoutin' all his might Glory Hallelujah, puts the people in a fright They think that Satan's runnin' up and down the aisle But it's just the preacher puttin' on the style [Chorus] Well, he's puttin' on the agony, puttin' on the style That's what all the young folks are doin' all the while And as we looked around us, we're very apt to smile To see so many people puttin' on the style Puttin' on the agony, puttin' on the style That's what all the young folks are doin' all the while And as we looked around us, we're very apt to smile To see so many people puttin' on the style
