I've just got an invitation through the mails
Your presence is requested this evening
It's formal, top hats, 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 hats, white tie and tails
Oh, I'm puttin' on my top hat
Tyin' up my white tie
And brushin' off my tails
Oh, 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, yeah, I'll be there
Puttin' on my top hat
And mussin' up my white tie
Dancin' in the tails
I'm puttin' on my top hat
Tyin' up my white tie
Brushin' off my tails
Yes, 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, yeah
Puttin' down my top hat
Mussin' up my white tie
Dancin' in my tails
Yes, boy, puttin' on my top hat
Swingin' with that time tails
Look here man, swinging
Swinging in the top hat
And my white tie and my tails
I'm steppin' out, my dear
To breathe an atmosphere
That simply reeks with class
Yes, I trust that you'll excuse my dust gate
When I step on the gas
Top hat and my tail
Dig that white tie boy
