elegance - original 2017 broadway revival cast of the hello, dolly! lyrics
[barnaby & corenlius]
yes, new york, it’s really us
barnaby and cornelius
[irene & minnie]
all the guests of mr. hackl are
feelin’ great and look spectacular
[barnaby, corenlius, irene, & minnie]
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
[corenlius]
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?
[barnaby & corenlius]
silver spoons were used for feeding us
[barnaby, cornelius, irene, & minnie]
we got elegance if you ain’t got elegance
you can never ever carry it off
middle cl-ss, 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
[minnie]
vanderbilt kowtows to us
[barnaby]
j.p. morgan scr-pes and bows to us
[barnaby, cornelius, irene, & minnie]
we’ve got elegance
we were born with elegance
[corenlius]
have you noticed when i hold my cup
the saucer never moves
[irene]
and the way i keep my pinky up
indubitably proves that
[barnaby, cornelius, irene, & minnie]
we got elegance
we got built-in elegance
and with elegance
[corenlius]
elegance!
[irene]
elegance!
[barnaby]
elegance!
[minnie]
elegance!
[barnaby, cornelius, irene, & minnie]
we’ll carry it off!
