Irving Berlin
Top Hat, White Ties And Tails
Boda-lee-hoe, boda-lee-hoe
Boda-lee-hoe, boda-lee-hoe
Ba-a-la-da da-oom
Ba-da-la-da, da-da, da-oom
Oh I'm puttin' on my top hat
Tyin' up the white tie
Brushin' off my tails
I'm dudin' up the shirt front
Puttin' in my shirt studs
Polishin’ my nails
I'm steppin' out, my dear, to breath 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 the white tie
Dancin' in my tails
Boda-lee-hoe, boda-lee-hoe
Boda-lee-hoe, boda-lee-hoe
Ba-a-la-da da-oom
Wa-da-la-da, da-da, da-oom
I rented a suit, Saturday's pay
I'll be a king just for a day
But I happy
Lordy, Lordy I'm so happy
Borrowed a hat
Shoes got a shine
I've got a date
Quarter to nine
With there's dancin'
Everybody's therе dancin'
I look keen and what I mean
I simply reek with class
On my way, excuse my dust
Whеn I step on the gas
Oh, after tonight back to my room
But for tonight, dressed like a groom
While I'm dancin'
I'm so happy when I'm dancin'
That's the reason that I'm
Puttin' on the top hat, whoa-oh
Tyin' up the white tie, whoa-oh
Brushin off my tails
Wha-a-la-doo-doo
I'm so happy cause I'm
Dudin' up my shirt front
Puttin' in my shirt studs
Polishing my nails
Ba-da-loo, a loo-doo-da-da, doo-da
I'm steppin' out with class
Ba-da-loo, a loo-doo-da-da, doo-da
Baby, step on the gas
For I'm gonna be there
Puttin' down my top hat
Mussin' up my white tie
Dancin' in my tails
(Tapping)
I'm gonna be there dancin' in my tails
