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, white tie and tails      I'm puttin' on my top hat   Tyin' up my white tie   Brushin' off my tails      I'm dude-in' 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
