Top Hat, White Tie, And Tails

Top Hat, White Tie, And Tails

(album: The Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books - 1994)

I just got an invitation through the mails:
"Your presence requested this evening, it's formal
A top hat, a 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 putting on my top hat
Tying up my white tie
Brushing off my tails

I'm dudeing up my shirt front
Putting in the shirt studs
Polishing my nails

I'm stepping 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
Putting down my top hat
Mussing up my white tie
Dancing in my tails
