Chorus:

Honey, mascara your eyebrow and come with me, We're gonna step into highbrow society,
Doin' the platinum plated Sophisticated Swing.

There'll be an orchestra playin' the latest hits, While we are swingin' and swayin' down at the Ritz.
Doin' a perfectly mated Sophisticated Swing.

 

Bridge:

Mind, we must dance refined,
Still if you're inclined to go to town, we'll go dear.

 

Last Chorus:

Honey, we're gonna go to it in style deluxe, And we can just about do it on seven bucks,
Doin' a newly created Sophisticated Swing.
