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)
