Put On Your Sunday Clothes

Out there
There's a world outside of Yonkers
Way out there beyond this hick town, Barnaby
There's a slick town Barnaby
Out there
Full of shine and full of sparkle
Close your eyes and see it glisten Barnaby
Listen Barnaby

Put on your Sunday clothes
There's lots of world out there
Get out the Brilliantine and dime cigars
We're gonna find adventure in the evening sir
Girls in white in the perfumed night
With the lights as bright as the stars

Put on your Sunday clothes
We're gonna ride through town
In one of those new horse-drawn open cars
We'll see the show at Delmonico's
And we'll close the town in a whirl
And we won't come home until we've kissed a girl

Put on your Sunday clothes
When you feel down and out
Strut down the street and have your picture took
Dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn about
That Sunday shine is a certain sign
That you feel as fine as you look

Beneath your parasol the world is all a-smile
That makes you feel brand new down to your toe
Get out your feathers, your patent leathers,
Your beads and buckles and bows
For there's on blue Monday in your Sunday clothes
No Monday in your Sunday
No Monday in your Sunday clothes!

Put on your Sunday clothes
When you feel down and out
Strut down the street and have your picture took
Dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn about
That Sunday shine is a certain sign
That you feel as fine as you look

Beneath your parasol the world is all a-smile
That makes you feel brand new down to your toe
Get out your feathers, your patent leathers,
Your beads and buckles and bows
For there's on blue Monday in your Sunday clothes

Put on your Sunday clothes
When you feel down and out
Strut down the street and have your picture took
Dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn about
That Sunday shine is a certain sign
That you feel as fine as you look

Beneath your bowler brim
The world's a simple song
A lovely lilt that makes you tilt your nose
Get out your slickers, your flannel knickers,
your red suspenders and hose
For there's no blue Monday in your Sunday clothes

Ermengarde keep smiling
No man wants a little ninny
Ambrose, do a turn, let me see
Mr. Hackl, Mr. Tucker
Don't forget Irene and Minnie
Just forget you ever heard a word from me

All aboard (All aboard)
All aboard (All aboard)
All aboard (All aboard, all aboard, all aboard, all aboard)

Put on your Sunday clothes
There's lots of world out there
Put on your silk cravat and patent shoes
We're gonna find adventure in the evening air
To town we'll trot to a smoky spot
Where the girls are hot as a fuse (Wow!)
Put on your silk high hat and at the turned up cuff
We'll wear a handmade gray suede button glove
You're gonna take New York by storm
We'll join the Astors at Tony Pastor's
And this I'm positive of
And we won't come home
No we won't come home
No we won't come home
Until we fall in love
