We've been invited to a cocktail party
Over by the palace wa-a-ll
I've not been dressed up since my graduation
Haven't been around at all
Look what happens when you reach the top
The whole world is your oyster
You walk 'round like a bleeding fop
Meet me outside the curiosity shop
No need to bring money
Life can be so funny
When you're hangin' around with the hoi polloi
The countess wipes her nose upon her sleeve
We'll be hangin' around with the hoi polloi (repeat)
