Letra Elegance de Barbra Streisand original
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 feeding 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...
