Bb C
At the top of the social ladder I speak
Eb
Let me welcome you here officially
To the back drop of martini clatter
Bb F
Break the ice with superficial chatter
Bb F
I'm glad to be this year's MC
Gm
To greet the chic and the elite
Yeah, you finally get to mix and mingle
D
Pressing flesh until your fingers tingle
Eb F Bb D
Worldwide socialites unite
Eb F Bb
O K, alright
Bb C
The band is grander than I recall
Eb
The talk is cultured, if a little small
Keep parading your charading manners
Bb F
Keep pretending that it really matters
Bb
Don't ask, don't tell
F
And please don't stare at the emperor
Gm
In his underwear
Special thanks to the snack committee
D
Heavens, don't those tarts look pretty
Eb F Bb D
Worldwide socialites unite
Eb F
Enjoy the conversation
Bb D
But try to keep it light
Eb F
Just avoid the friction
Bb D
And if you feel conviction
Eb F Gm C
Well then, baby, step outside
Eb F
Let's keep the "lite" in social
Eb F
Let's keep the social light
Eb F Bb
Let's keep the "lite" in socialite
Bb C Eb F
na na na na na na (3x)
Eb F Bb D
Worldwide socialites unite
Eb F
Avoid the dreaded question
Bb D
The meaning of our lives
Eb F
And as to God's existence
Bb D
Well, that's your private business
Eb F Gm C
And, quite frankly, impolite
Eb F
Let's keep the "lite" in social
Eb F
Let's keep this social light
Eb F Bb
Let's keep the "lite" in socialite
Bb C Eb F
na na na na na na (7x)
Bb
