Elegance - Barbra Streisand

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

Mrs. Molloy & Minnie: 
All the guests of Mr. Hackl are 
Feelin' 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 

Mrs. Molloy: 
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 *beating* us 

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

[dance interlude] 

All: 
Middle class 
Don't speak of it 
Savoir 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 

Cornelius: 
J.P. Morgan scrapes and bows to us 

All: 
We've got elegance 
We were born with elegance 

Barnaby: 
I beheave like Walter Wally 
When the streets are full of mud 

Mrs. Molloy: 
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...
