Top Hat, White Tie & Tails

It’s too bad you could never get cats to go for formation dancing – because we surely have a number of handsome guys in tuxedos around the Sanctuary

I just got an invitation through the mails
Your presence requested this evening
It's formal, a top hat, white tie and tails
 
Larry
Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails
Because I'm invited to step out this evening
With top hat, white tie and tails

Smoochie
I'm puttin' on my top hat
Tyin' up my white tie
Brushin' off my tails
 
Sylvester
I'm dudin' up my shirt front
Puttin' in the shirt studs
Polishin' my nails
 
Babylon and Bart
I'm steppin' out, my dear to breathe
An atmosphere that simply reeks with class
And I trust that you'll excuse my dust
When I step on the gas
 
Hudson - PH
for I'll be there
Puttin' down my top hat
Mussin' up my white tie
Dancin' in my tails
 
Tugboat - ML
But no – Fred Astaire is way too energetic for these very cool cats!

  2. Oh, Dianne - he's the sweetest boy. He's recently been diagnosed hyperthyroid, but he's out of a cage now, and tends to hang around the tea-room and the Newcomers
