Just dig that scenery floatin' by
We're now approachin' Newport Rhode 1
We've been for years in Variety
But Cholly Knickerbocker, now we're goin' to be

In high, High-So-,
High So-ci,
High So-ci-ety.

I wanna play for my former pal
He runs the local jazz festival
His name is Dexter and he's good news
But sumpin' kinda tells me that he's nursing' the blues

In high, High-So-
High So-ci
High So-ci-ety

High Society
In high, High-So-
High So-ci
High So-ci-ety

He's got the blues 'cause his wife, alas
Begins tomorrow a brand new life
She started lately a new affair
And now the silly chick is gonna marry a square

In high, High-So-
High So-ci
High So-ci-ety

High Society
In high, High-So-
High So-ci
High So-ci-ety

But, Brother Dexter, just trust your Satch
To stop that weddin' and kill that match
I'll not toot my trumpet to start the fun
And play in such a way that she'll come back to you, son

In high, High-So-
High So-ci
High So-ci-ety
