 2  -3  -3   3  3   2   2
I'm put-tin’ on my top hat,
-3 -3  3  3   -2   -2
Ty-in’ up my white tie, 
 -4   -4  -3  -4   4
Brush-in’ off my tails.
 
 2  -3  -3  3  3    2     2
I'm dud-in’ up my shirt front,
-3  -3   3   3   -2    -2
Put-tin’ in the shirt studs, 
-4  -4  -3  -4   4
Pol-ish-in’ my nails.
 4   -5  -5*   6  -5*  -4
I'm step-pin’ out, my dear,
-5    5*   -3 4  -4   -3
To breathe an at-mos-phere 
 -4  -3* -2*  -3    3*    2
that sim-ply reeks with class,
 6 -5* -4    -5    5*   -3  4   -4  3
And I trust that you'll ex-cuse my dust 
 -4 -3* -2* -3  3*  2
when I step on the gas,
 3  -2*  -2   2
For I'll be there 
-3  -3    3   3   2   2
put-tin’ down my top hat,
-3  -3   3  3   -2   -2
Mus-sin’ up my white tie, 
-3  -4   -3 -4   4
Dan-cin’ in my tails
