Hello, Dolly! Elegance lyrics

Yes, New York, it's really us
Barnaby and Cornelius
All the guests of Mr. Hackl are
Feelin' great and look spectacular

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

All who are
Well-bred agree, Minnie Fay 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
We got elegance, if you ain't got elegance
You can never ever carry it off

Middle class, don't speak of it

Savior Faire, we reek of it
Some were born with rags and patches but
We use dollar bills for matches and

Vanderbilt, kowtows to us
J.P. Morgan scrapes and bows to us
We've 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 elegance
We got built in elegance
And with elegance
We'll carry it off
