Written by Thisbe Vos

When the women walk on by
You take off your hat and smile
When you're gone, they stop and sigh
And sometimes they stare a while
You pick up your salad knife
As though you've done it all your life

Sophistication is what you are
Your education has brought you far
But do you know what to do
When old devil love finds you
Sophistication is what you are

You always tell the host goodnight
You cross your t's and dot your i's
Jackets fit, but not too tight
Your wardrobe's full of matching ties

Sophistication is what you are
Your education has brought you far
But do you know what to do
When old devil Love finds you
Sophistication is what you are

(Instrumental Solo)

Sophisticated is what you are
So educated, you've come so far
I hope you know what to do
'Cause I think I'm in love with you
Sophistication is what you are
Sophistication is what you are
Sophistication is what you are
