Top Hat, White Tie And Tails Lyrics - Plays The Irving Berlin Songbook - Oscar Peterson

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 and 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.
