Lyrics
Style
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some people dress 'cause they dress when they dress,
But he gets dressed to get dressed.
(It's only a hunch but I bet you a bunch)
(He wears suspenders, a belt and a vest,)
[From the tip of his toes to his head,]
[He looks like an unmade bed.]
You've either got or you haven't got style.
(If you got it, you stand out a mile.)
A flower's not a flower if it's wilted,
(A hat's not a hat till it's tilted.)
[You either got or you haven't got class.]
[How it draws the applause of the masses.]
<When you wear lapels like a swell, isn't that swell,>
<You can pass any mirror and smile,>
(You either got, or you haven't got,)
[Got or you haven't got,] ,<got or you haven't got style.>
You've either got or you haven't got style, (got or you haven't got style).
[If you got it, it stands out a mile,] (if you got it, it stands out a mile.).
With mother of pearl kind of buttons,
(You look like the Astors and Huttons.)
[You either got or you haven't got class,] (got or you haven't got class.)
How it draws the applause of the masses.
<When you wear lapels like a swell, isn't that swell,>
<You can pass any mirror and smile,>
(You've either got, or you haven't style) [got or you haven't got style}
(Style and charm seem to go arm in arm,) [seem togo arm in arm.].
[A flower's not a flower] (if it's wilted,)
[A hat's not a hat till it's tilted.]
(You've either got or you haven't got style,) [got or you haven't got style,]
[If you got it, you stands out a mile,] if you got it, you stand out a mile
(Got it you stand out,) got it you stand out a mile.
<When you were those duds with a wild kind of studs,>
<Watch those dolls lining up single file.>
You've either got or you haven't got, (got or you haven't got,)
[Got or you haven't got,] <got or you haven't got,>
<Got or you haven't got style.>
Come on , get some clothes on, we're gonna be late for breakfast.
