Elegance Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

Cornelius & barnaby: 

Yes, new york 

It's really us 

Barnaby and cornelius 

Mrs. molloy & minnie: 

All the guests of mr. hackl are 

Feelin' great and look spectacular 

All: 

What a knack 

There is to that 

Acting like a born aristocrat 

We got elegance 

If you ain't got elegance 

You can never ever carry it off

Cornelius: 

All who are 

Well-bred agree 

Minnie fay 

Has pedigree 

Mrs. molloy: 

Exercise your wildest whims tonight 

We are out with diamond jims tonight 

Minnie: 

Could they be 

Misleading us? 

Cornelius & barnaby: 

Silver spoons were used for feeding us 

All: 

We got elegance 

If you ain't got elegance 

You can never ever carry it off 

[dance interlude] 

All: 

Middle class 

Don't speak of it 

Savoir faire 

We reek of it 

Some were born with rags and patches but 

We use dollar bills for matches and 

Minnie: 

Vanderbilt 

Kowtows to us 

Cornelius: 

J.p. morgan scrapes and bows to us 

All: 

We've got elegance 

We were born with elegance 

Barnaby: 

I behave like Walter Raleigh 

When the streets are full of mud 

Minnie Fay: 

And the bluest huckleberry isn't bluer than my blood 

Irene Malloy: 

Have you noticed when I hold my cup 

The saucer never moves 

Cornelius: 

And the way I keep my pinky up 

Indubitably proves that 

All: 

We got elegance 

We got built in elegance 

And with elegance...elegance... 

Elegance...elegance...elegance 

We'll carry it off! 

All: 

We got elegance 

If you ain't got elegance 

You can never ever carry it off 

We got elegance...
