[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
young man in a carriage, driving like he’s mad
with a pair of horses, borrowed from his dad
cracked his whip so loudly to make his lady smile
but oh, she knows he’s only putting on the style

[verse 2]
sweet sixteen, she goes to church, just to see the boys
turns her head and giggles at every little noise
first this way a little, then that way awhile
the boys all know she’s only putting on that style

[chorus]
putting on the agony, putting on the style
that is what the young folks are doing all the while
as i look around me, i’m very apt to smile
to see so many people putting on the style

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
young man just from college, makes a great display
with a long jawbreaker with all he has to say
can’t be found in webster’s, and won’t be for a while
for we all known he’s only putting on the style

[verse 4]
young man in a restaurant, smokes a dirty pipe
looking like a pumpkin only halfway ripe
smoking, drinking, chewing and thinking all the while
that there’s nothing equal to putting on the style

[chorus]
putting on the agony, putting on the style
that is what the young folks are doing all the while
as i look around me, i’m very apt to smile
to see so many people putting on the style

[instrumental break]

[verse 5]
country lads and l-sses, going to the scenes
looking fresh as dew drops on a bunch of garden greens
gingerbread and candy, eating all the while
going to the circus, putting on the style

[chorus]
putting on the agony, putting on the style
that is what the young folks are doing all the while
as i look around me, i’m very apt to smile
to see so many people putting on the style

[instrumental outro]
