Puttin' on the Style

Putting on the Style - Lonnie Donegan

Sweet sixteen goes to church just to see the boys

Laughs and screams and giggles at every little noise

Turns her face a little and turns her head awhile

But everybody knows she's only putting on the style

Yeah putting on the agony putting on the style

That's what all the young folks are doing all the while

And as I look around me I'm sometimes apt to smile

Seeing all the young folks putting on the style

Young man in the hot-rod car driving like he's mad

With a pair of yellow gloves he's borrowed from his dad

He makes it roar so lively just to see his girlfriend smile

But she knows he's only putting on the style

Yeah putting on the agony putting on the style

That's what all the young folks are doing all the while

And as I look around me I'm sometimes apt to smile

Seeing all the young folks putting on the style

Preacher in the pulpit roars with all his might

Sing glory hallelula with the folks all in a fright

Now you might think he's satan that's coming down the aisle

But it's only our poor preacher boys it's putting on his style

Yeah putting on the agony putting on the style

That's what all the young folks are doing all the while

And as I look around me I'm sometimes apt to smile

Seeing all the young folks putting on the style

Yeah

Sounds putting on the agony putting on the style

That's what all the young folks are doing all the while

And as I look around me I'm sometimes apt to smile

Seeing all the young folks putting on the style

Yeah putting on the agony putting on the style

That's what all the young folks are doing all the while

And as I look around me I'm sometimes apt to smile

Seeing all the young folks putting on the style
