Top Hat, White Tie and Tails
Irving Berlin (sunget av Fred Astaire)
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, white tie and tails

I'm puttin' on my top hat
Tyin' up my white tie
Brushin' off my tails

I'm dudein' 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



Top Hat
Bee Gees
Life is just a bore
It's a drag to leave my door
Guess I'll have to say
I just cry my life away
I'll buy a top hat to brighten up my lonely life
And they can see that I've got the money for the things money brings

Put it on my head and each time I head to bed
Put it in a box near my dirty shoes an socks

I'll but a top hat to brighten up my lonely life
And they can see that I've got the money for the things money brings

I like that top hat
Do you?
Yes
Would you like to buy that?
Of course. how much is that ?
3 pound 6 then please sir .
Thank you

I'll but a top hat to brighten up my lonely life
And they can see that I've got the money for the things money brings
And until she comes and she brings me happiness
This is what I want, nothing more, nothing less

Top hat bones
Peter Hart
I was feeling restless one moonlit night
So, I took a walk and things felt right.
Music in my mind, dances in my feet
Strolling along to syncopated beat.

I was checkin' for change in all the pay phones
When who should I meet -
Mr. Top Hat Bones.

Strange lookin' dude - and that's a fact:
Not very tall with a black top hat
Had little shoes tied on his feet
He was rockin' along to a funky beat.

He said,"My name ain't Johnson,
my name ain't Jones,
All my friends call me Top Hat Bones."

He said, " I'm goin' to a party -
do you wanna' go?..."
Well, he had me curious -
I couldn't say no.
"...It'll be a fine affair -
'le grande soiree' -

But first you gotta' learn how to rock this way..."

He said, " Get up, get down,
get up, get down, get up, get down,
and do the Top Hat Bones,
do the Top Hat Bones!"
 
I was mesmerized - said hypnotized
He was disconnectin' right before my eyes
But he went too high, missed the beat
Fell down, spread out all over the street.

I said "Aww!"   You say "Awww!"
Everybody say "Awww!"

This man's a mess, it's plain to see
But you can help if you'll rap with me
Say "Get up, Mr. Top Hat Bones!"

He said he'll get up with a beat.

Hip, hop, poly-rock, when your feet start dancin',
your heart won't stop

Hip, hop, poly rock...BREAK DOWN!
Break down, get up, climb to the top
Break down, get up, and climb to the top.

He said, "Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue
Thanks very much - my hat's off to you.
But I gotta' go ( I might have bruised a bone)
Would you be so kind as to walk me home?"

I said,"J.C. Penny, Sears and Roebuck, too
It would be my pleasure just to walk with you
So let's walk on, Mr. Top Hat Bones
And we'll do the Top Hat Bones
Do the Top Hat Bones!"



There's a good reason these tables are numbered
Panic at the disco
Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman.
From that moment you'll be out of place and underdressed.
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it.
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and...

Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman.
From that moment you'll be out of place and underdressed.
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it.
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and...

When you're in black slacks with accentuating, off-white, pinstripes
Whoa, everything goes according to plan.

I'm the new cancer, never looked better, you can't stand it.
Because you say so under your breath.
You're reading lips "When did he get all confident?"

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
Never looked better, and you can't stand it

Next is a trip to the, the ladies room in vain, and
I bet you just can't keep up with, (keep up) with these fashionistas, and
Tonight, tonight you are, you are a whispering campaign.
I bet to them your name is "Cheap", I bet to them you look like shh...

Talk to the mirror, oh, choke back tears.
And keep telling yourself that "I'm a diva!"
Oh and the smokes in that cigarette box on the table,
they just so happen to be laced with nitroglycerin.

I'm the new cancer, never looked better, you can't stand it.
Because you say so under your breath.
You're reading lips "When did he get all confident?"

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
Never looked better, and you can't stand it

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better, and you can't stand it

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better, and you can't stand it

And I know, and I know, it just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up.
I've never been so surreptitious, so of course you'll be distracted when I spike the punch.
