< instrumental opening >

Your Ace is high, you catch the eye

and steal the heart as well . . .

you're the ballroom headline,

class will tell!

You have no wings

but you do things

no angel could excel . . .

When you're in the spotlight

class will tell!

A sentimental air, a continental flair,

the very essence of charm . . .

Your features represent the kind of ornament

I want to wear on my arm . . .

The likes of you,

the likes of me

would get on mighty swell . . .

You're the number one song

class will tell!
