Elegance

Lyrics

Yes, New York
 It's really us, Barnaby and
 Cornelius
 All the guests of Mr. Hackl are
 Feeling great and look spectacular
 What a knack
 There is to that
 Acting like a born aristocrat
 We've got elegance
 If you ain't got elegance
 You can never ever carry it off
 ♪
 All who are
 Well-bred agree
 Minnie Fay
 Has pedigree
 Exercise your wildest whims tonight
 We are out with diamond Jims tonight
 Could they be
 Misleading us?
 Silver spoons were used for feeding us
 We've got elegance
 If you ain't got elegance
 You can never, ever carry it off
 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
 Vanderbilt
 Kowtows to us
 J.P Morgan scrapes and bows to us
 We've got elegance
 We were born with elegance
 Have you noticed
 When I hold my cup
 The saucer never moves?
 And the way I keep my pinky up
 Indubitably proves
 That we've got elegance
 We've got built-in elegance
 And with elegance (elegance, elegance, elegance, elegance)
 We'll carry it off
