Boda-lee-hoe, boda-lee-hoe
Boda-lee-hoe, boda-lee-hoe
Ba-a-la-da da-oom
Ba-a-la-da, da-da, da-oom
Oh, I'm puttin' on the top hat
Tyin' up the white tie
Brushin' off the tails
I'm dudin' up the shirt front
Puttin' in the shirt studs
Polishing my nails
I'm steppin' out, my dear, to breath 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 the top hat
Mussin' up the white tie
Dancin' in my tails
Boda-lee-hoe, boda-lee-hoe
Boda-lee-hoe, boda-lee-hoe
Ba-a-la-da da-oom
Ba-a-la-da, da-da, da-oom
I rented a suit
Saturday's pay
I'll be a king just for a day
But I happy
Lordy, Lordy I'm so happy
Borrowed a hat
Shoes got a shine
I've got a date
Quarter to nine
With there's dancin'
Everybody's there dancin'
I look keen and what I mean
I simply reek with class
On my way, excuse my dust
When I step on the gas
Oh, after tonight back to my room
But for tonight, dressed like a groom
While I'm dancin'
I'm so happy when I'm dancin'
That's the reason that I'm
Puttin' on the top hat, whoa-oh
Tyin' up the white tie, whoa-oh
Brushin off my tails
Wha-a-la-doo-doo
I'm so happy cause I'm
Dudin' up my shirt front
Puttin' in my shirt studs
Polishing my nails
Ba-da-loo, a loo-doo-da-da, doo-doo
I'm steppin' out with class
Ba-da-loo, a loo-doo-da-da, doo-doo
Baby, step on the gas
For I'm gonna be there
Puttin' down the top hat
Mussin' up the white tie
Dancin' in my tails
I'm gonna be there dancin' in my tails
