Elegance — текст песни (Barbra Streisand)

Cornelius & barnaby:

Yes, new york

Its 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 aint 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 feeding us



All:

We got elegance

If you aint got elegance

You can never ever carry it off



[dance interlude]



All:

Middle class

Dont 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:

Weve 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 isnt 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

Well carry it off!





All:

We got elegance

If you aint got elegance

You can never ever carry it off

We got elegance...
