<br>

Cornelius & Barnaby<br>

Yes, New York<br>

It's really us<br>

Barnaby and Cornelius<br>

Mrs. Molloy & Minnie<br>

All the guests of Mr. Hackl are<br>

Feelin' great and look spectacular<br>

All<br>

What a knack<br>

There is to that<br>

Acting like a born aristocrat<br>

We got elegance<br>

If you ain't got elegance<br>

You can never ever carry it off<br>

Cornelius<br>

All who are<br>

Well-bred agree<br>

Minnie Fay<br>

Has pedigree<br>

Mrs. Molloy<br>

Exercise your wildest whims tonight<br>

We are out with diamond Jims tonight<br>

Minnie<br>

Could they be<br>

Misleading us?<br>

Cornelius & Barnaby<br>

Silver spoons were used for feeding us<br>

We got elegance<br>

If you ain't got elegance<br>

All<br>

You can never ever carry it off<br>

Middle class<br>

Don't speak of it<br>

Savoir Faire<br>

We reek of it<br>

Some were born with rags and patches but<br>

We use dollar bills for matches and<br>

Minnie<br>

Vanderbilt<br>

Kowtows to us<br>

Cornelius<br>

J.P. Morgan scrapes and bows to us<br>

All<br>

We've got elegance<br>

We were born with elegance<br>

Cornelius<br>

Have you noticed when I hold my cup<br>

The saucer never moves<br>

Mrs. Molloy<br>

And the way I keep my pinky up<br>

Indubitably proves<br>

All<br>

That we got elegance<br>

We got built in elegance<br>

And with elegance...elegance...<br>

Elegance...elegance...elegance<br>

We'll carry it off!<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>

We got elegance<br>

If you ain't got elegance<br>

You can never ever carry it off<br>

We got Elegance...<br>

<br>

<br>
