  3    2  3  4  3   2  -1* 2 -3 3
We’re gon-na be in high so-ci-e-ty
  2    -2   -2*  3
We’ll strut on down 
4   4  -3  -3   -3  -5  -5
to the fin-est part of town
3   2    3     4  
I don’t have rings, 
 3   2   -1*   2  -3   3
and all those fan-cy things
 3  3   -3  -3 -4   5   6
But as long as you love me
 3  3*  -3  -3 -4 6 5
I’m in high so-ci-e-ty
  5    5  -3* -3  -3*  5
While you go get your hat
 5   -3   2   2  3  -2  -1
I’ll put pow-der on my nose
  5   5 -3* -3 -3*  5
While I let in the cat
   5     -3   2   2    3  -2   -1
There’s some win-dows you can close
 4  -5   5   -4   5   -5
The bed can stay that way
-5  -4  -2* -2* -3  3   2
Put the dish-es in the sink
 -4   -4  -5  5  -4   5  -5
Leave the ash-es in the tray
 -5  -4  -5  5 -4 -3  3
I’ll be read-y in a wink
