Elegance Lyrics


Cornelius & barnaby:
Yes, new york
It's really us
Barnaby and cornelius
Mrs. molloy & minnie:
All the guests of mr. hackl are
Feelin' great and look spectacular
All:
What a knack
There is to that
Acting like a born aristocrat
We got elegance
If you ain't got elegance
You can never ever carry it off
Cornelius:
All who are
Well-bred agree
Minnie fay

Has pedigree
Mrs. molloy:
Exercise your wildest whims tonight
We are out with diamond jims tonight
Minnie:
Could they be
Misleading us?
Cornelius & barnaby:
Silver spoons were used for feeding us
All:
We got elegance
If you ain't got elegance
You can never ever carry it off
[dance interlude]All:
Middle class
Don't speak of it
Savoir faire
We reek of it
Some were born with rags and patches but
We use dollar bills for matches and
Minnie:
Vanderbilt
Kowtows to us
Cornelius:
J.p. morgan scrapes and bows to us
All:
We've got elegance
We were born with elegance
Barnaby:
I behave like Walter Raleigh
When the streets are full of mud
Minnie Fay:
And the bluest huckleberry isn't bluer than my blood
Irene Malloy:
Have you noticed when I hold my cup
The saucer never moves
Cornelius:
And the way I keep my pinky up
Indubitably proves that
All:
We got elegance
We got built in elegance
And with elegance...elegance...
Elegance...elegance...elegance
We'll carry it off!
All:
We got elegance
If you ain't got elegance
You can never ever carry it off
We got elegance...

Songwriter Oren Lavie (Tel Aviv, Israel), who has drawn comparisons in the press to Nick Drake, the Beatles and Crosby Stills & Nash, released his debut album “The Opposite Side Of The Sea” on March 10th, 2009 on his own imprint, A Quarter Past Wonderful, which he started with tastemaker and current KCRW host Chris Douridas. Says Douridas, a 27-year veteran of radio, “I've never been so motivated to help an artist get his music out into the world until I met Oren. He is incredibly special. It's rare every song in an artist's catalogue moves me like Oren’s do."
