Putting On The Style

Putting On The Style - Lonnie Donegan and his Skiffle Group

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

She's 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 sometimes have to smile

Seeing all the young folks

Putting on the style

Well the 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

He's 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 sometimes have to smile

Seeing all the young folks

Putting on the style

Preacher in the pulpit

Roars with all his might

Sing glory halleluja

Puts the folks all in a fright

Now you might think it's Satan

That's a coming down the Aisle

But it's only our poor preacher boys

That's putting on his style

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 sometimes have to smile

Seeing all the young folks

Putting on the style

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 sometimes have to smile

Seeing all the young folks

Putting on the style

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 sometimes have to smile

Seeing all the young folks

Putting on the style
