Put On Your Sunday Clothes

"Put On Your Sunday Clothes" is the opening song of the Pixar film WALL-E, originally from the 1969 musical film Hello Dolly. In the movie, WALL-E owns an old VHS tape of the musical which he probably found years or centuries ago and often learns and copies the dance moves portrayed by the characters while watching it. He keeps a recording of the song on him and listens to it while he works cleaning up the garbage and when malfunctioning robots aboard the Axiom listen to it they too catch on with the rhythm.

Original Lyrics
Cornelius: Out there There's a world outside of Yonkers Way out there beyond this hick town, Barnaby There's a slick town, Barnaby Out there Full of shine and full of sparkle Close your eyes and see it glisten, Barnaby Listen, Barnaby... Put on your Sunday clothes, There's lots of world out there Get out the brillantine and dime cigars We're gonna find adventure in the evening air Girls in white in a perfumed night Where the lights are bright as the stars! Put on your Sunday clothes, we're gonna ride through town In one of those new horsedrawn open cars

Cornelius & Barnaby: We'll see the shows at Delmonicos And we'll close the town in a whirl And we won't come until we've kissed a girl!

Dolly: Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and out Strut down the street and have your picture took Dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn about That Sunday shine is a certain sign That you feel as fine as you look!

Dolly & Ambrose: Beneath your parasol, the world is all a smile That makes you feel brand new down to your toes

Dolly, Ambrose, Cornelius, & Barnaby: Get out your feathers, your patent leathers Your beads and buckles and bows For there's no blue Monday in your Sunday... No Monday in your Sunday... No Monday in your Sunday clothes!

Townspeople, All: Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and out Strut down the street and have your picture took

Dolly,Townspeople, All: Dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn about That Sunday shine is a certain sign That you feel as fine as you look! Women: Beneath your parasol, the world is all a smile All: That makes you feel brand new down to your toes Get out your feathers Your patent leathers Your beads and buckles and bows For there's no blue Monday in your Sunday clothes!

[Dance interlude]

Children: Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and out Strut down the street and have your picture took

Women: Dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn about

Townspeople, All: That Sunday shine is a certain sign That you feel as fine as you look! Beneath your bowler brim the world's a simple song A lovely lilt that makes you tilt your nose Get out your slickers, your flannel knickers Your red suspenders and hose For there's no blue Monday in your Sunday clothes!

Dolly: Ermengarde, keep smiling, no man wants a little ninny! Ambrose do a turn, let me see! Mr.Hackl, Mr.Tucker don't forget Irene and Minnie, Just forget you ever heard a word from me! All Aboard!

Townspeople: All Aboard! Dolly: All Aboard! Townspeople: All Aboard! Dolly: Aboaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard! All: All Aboard! All Aboard! All Aboard! All Aboard!

Put on your Sunday clothes there's lots of world out there Put on your silk cravat and patent shoes We're gonna find adventure in the evening air

Dolly: To town we'll trot to a smokey spot Where the girls are hot as a fuse!

All: WOW

All: Put on your silk high hat and at the turned up cuff We'll wear a hand made gray suede buttoned glove

Dolly: We wanna take New York by Storm!

All: We'll join the Astors At Tony Pastor's And this I'm positive of That we won't come home No we won't come home No we won't come home until we fall in love!
