(Bing Crosby) [Dean Martin] <Frank with both>

 

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.
