[cornelius & barnaby]
yes, new york, it’s really us
barnaby and cornelius

[irene & minnie]
all the guests of mr. hackl are
feeling great and look spectacular

[all]
what a knack there is to that
acting like a born aristocrat
we got elegance, if you ain’t got elegance
you can never, ever carry it off

[cornelius]
all who are well-bred agree
minnie fay has pedigree

[irene]
exercise your wildest whims tonight
we are out with diamond jims tonight

[minnie]
could they be misleading us?

[cornelius & barnaby]
silver spoons were used for feeding us

[all]
we got elegance, if you ain’t got elegance
you can never, ever carry it off

sn0bs that slobs throw roses at
we look down our noses at

[minnie]
pity all the other girls around
when i swing my perfect pearls around

[barnaby]
snubbing folks is chic to us

[cornelius]
sometimes we don’t even speak to us

[all]
if you ain’t got elegance
you can never, ever carry it off

[the dog’s owner, spoken]
if you please

[all]
middle cl-ss, don’t speak of this
savoire-faire, we reek of this
some were born with rags and patched but
we use dollar bills for matches and

[minnie]
vanderbilt kowtows to us

[cornelius]
j. p. morgan scr-pes and bows to us

[all]
we’ve got elegance, we were born with elegance

[barnaby]
i behave like walter rauleigh when the streets are full of mud

[minnie]
and the bluest huckleberry isn’t bluer than my blood

[irene]
have you noticed when i hold my cup the saucer never moves?

[cornelius]
and the way i keep my pinkie up indubitably proves that

[all]
we got elegance, we got built-in elegance

[minnie]
and with elegance

[barnaby]
elegance

[irene]
elegance

[cornelius]
elegance

[all]
we’ll carry it off
