--ELEGANCE--
Cornelius, Barnaby, Irene, Minnie

Yes, New York-- It's really us, Barnaby and Cornelius.
All the guests of Mister Hackl are feelin' great and look spectacular!
What a knack there is to that Actin' like a born aristrocat.
We got elegance.
If you ain't got elegance, you can never ever carry it off

All who are well bredagree Minnie Fay has pedifree.
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 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 Vandervilt cowtows to us, J.P. Morgan scrapes and bows to us.
We 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 got elegeance,
we got built in elegance, and with....
Elegance... elegance... elegance... elegance... elegance...
We'll carry it off!
