[Chorus]
(D-Riff)
D A7
Puttin' on the agony, puttin' on the style
A7 D
That's what all the young folks are doing all the while
D A7
And as we look around us, we're very apt to smile
A7 D
To see so many people puttin' on the style

[Verse]
(D-Riff)
D A7
Young man home from college makes a great display
A7 D
With a fancy adjective that he can hardly say
D A7
It can't be found in Webster's, and won't be for a while
A7 D
But we know that he's only puttin' on the style

[Chorus]
(D-Riff)
D A7
Puttin' on the agony, puttin' on the style
A7 D
That's what all the young folks are doing all the while
