Verses:

Young man in a carriage, driving like he's mad,
With a team of horses he borrowed from his dad,
He cracks his whip so lively just to see his lady's smile,
But she knows he's only putting on the style.

 

Sweet sixteen, she goes to church, just to see the boys,
She laughs and she giggles at every little noise,
She turns this way a little, she turns that way a while,
But everybody knows she's only putting on the style.

 

Chorus:

Putting on the agony, putting on the style,
That's what all the young folks are doing all the while,
And as I look around me, I'm very apt to smile,
To see so many people putting on the style.
