Fred Astaire - Top Hat: Hits From Hollywood

Top Hat, White Tie And Tails

I just got an invitation through the mails
Your presence requested this evening
It's formal, a top hat, 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 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

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
And dancin' in my tails
