Font:      
Align:    
  • Top Hat, White Tie and Tails
  • Fred Astaire
  • Words and music by Irving Berlin.
  • Introduced by Fred Astaire in the motion picture "Top Hat."
  • (verse)
  • 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 and white tie and tails.
  • (chorus)
  • I'm puttin' on my top hat,
  • Tyin' up my white tie,
  • Brushin' off my tails.
  • I'm dudin' 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,
  • For I'll be there,
  • Puttin' down my top hat,
  • Mussin' up my white tie,
  • Dancin' in my tails.
  • From: Gloria "Montcomags"
