Yes, New York
It's really us
Barnaby and Cornelius

Mrs. Molloy & Minnie:

Acting like a born aristocrat

You can never ever carry it off

All who are
Well-bred agree

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

All:
We got elegance
If you ain't got elegance
You can never ever carry it off

We reek of it
Some were born with rags and patches but

And the bluest Huckelberry isn't bluer than my blood

Minnie:
Have you noticed when I hold my cup
The saucer never moves

Cornelius:
And the way I keep my pinky up
Indubitably proves that

All:
We got elegance
We got built in elegance
And with elegance...elegance...
Elegance...elegance...elegance
We'll carry it off!

All:
We got elegance
If you ain't got elegance
You can never ever carry it off
We got Elegance...
