Fred Astaire

I just got an invitation through the mails<br /> "Your presence requested this evening<br /> It's formal, a top hat, a white tie and tails"<br /> Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails<br /> Because I'm invited to step out this evening<br /> With top hat and white tie and tailsI'm puttin' on my top hat<br /> Tyin' up my white tie<br /> Brushin' off my tails<br /> I'm dudin' up my shirt front<br /> Puttin' in the shirt studs<br /> Polishin' my nails<br /> I'm steppin' out, my dear<br /> To breathe an atmosphere<br /> That simply reeks with class<br /> And I trust that you'll excuse my dust<br /> When I step on the gas<br /> For I'll be there<br /> Puttin' down my top hat<br /> Mussin' up my white tie<br /> Dancin' in my tailsI'm puttin' on my top hat<br /> Tyin' up my white tie<br /> Brushin' off my tails<br /> I'm dudin' up my shirt front<br /> Puttin' in the shirt studs<br /> Polishin' my nails<br /> I'm steppin' out, my dear<br /> To breathe an atmosphere<br /> That simply reeks with class<br /> And I trust that you'll excuse my dust<br /> When I step on the gas<br /> For I'll be there<br /> Puttin' down my top hat<br /> Mussin' up my white tie<br /> Dancin' in my tails<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> IRVING BERLINPublished by<br /> Lyrics © IMAGEM U.S. LLC Song Discussions is protected by U.S. Patent 9401941.
