Top Hat White Tie And Tails

Top Hat White Tie And Tails - Fred Astaire

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

Yeah

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
