Ella Fitzgerald - Top Hat White Tie Tails Lyrics

I just got an invitation through the mails:

"your presence requested this evening, its formal

A top hat, a white tie and tails"

Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails

Because Im invited to step out this evening

With top hat, white tie and tails



Im puttin on my top hat

Tyin up my white tie

Brushin off my tails



Im dudein up my shirt front

Puttin in the shirt studs

Polishin my nails



Im steppin out, my dear

To breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class

And I trust that youll excuse my dust when I step on the gas



For Ill be there

Puttin down my top hat

Mussin up my white tie

Dancin in my tails
