STYLE
Sammy Cahn & Jimmy van Heusen

Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin & Bing Crosby (from the film "Robin and the Seven Hoods" - 1964)


Some people dress 'cause they like to get dressed;
But you just dress to get dressed.
It's only a hunch, but I bet you a bunch:
He wears suspenders, a belt, and a vest.
>From the tip of your toes to your head...
You look like an unmade bed.


You've either got, or you haven't got style;
If you got it, you stand out a mile.
A flower's not a flower if it's wilted;
A hat's not a hat till it's tilted.
You've either got, or you haven't got class;
How it draws the applause of the masses.

When you wear lapels...
Like the swell of the swells...
You can pass any mirror and smile.
You've either got,  or you haven't got...
....got, or you haven't got...
....got, or you haven't got style.

You've either got, or you haven't got style.
....got,  or you haven't got style;
If you got it, you stand out a mile.
....got it, you stand out a mile.
With mother-of-pearl kind of buttons...
You look like the Astors and Huttons.

You've either got, or you haven't got class;
....got, or you haven't got class.
How it draws the applause of the masses.
When you wear lapels...
Like the swellest swells...
You can pass any mirror and smile.

You've either got, or you haven't got charm;
....got, or you haven't got charm.
Style and charm seem to go arm in arm;
....seem to go arm in arm.
A flower's not a flower if it's wilted;
A hat's not a hat till it's tilted.

You've either got, or you haven't got style;
....got, or you haven't got style;
....got, or you haven't got style.
If you got it, you stand out a mile;
....got it, you stand out a mile;
....got it, you stand out a mile.

When you were those duds,
Those with black-tie and studs,
Watch those dolls lining up single file.
You've either got,  or you haven't got...
....got,  or you haven't got...
....got,  or you haven't got...
....got,  or you haven't got...
....got,  or you haven't got style..
