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
