Subject: RE: Lyr Req: High Silk Hat and a Gold Top Walking Cane
Here are some excerpts from THEN I'LL MOVE TO TOWN transcribed from sound samples found at allmusic and at Yahoo! Shopping > Music.

I'll ramble around this London town and across the deep blue sea,
And I'll swap jokes with lordly folks in high society,
And when I'm low, they'll never know, for you can change your name,
'Cause all you need is a high silk hat and a gold-top walking cane.
...
Now I'll never get my high silk hat and my gold-top walking cane
And a watch that twists around your wrist that don't need any chain.
I'll plan a trip upon a ship across....
