Ella Fitzgerald - Slumming on Park Avenue lyrics

[Ella Fitzgerald - Slumming on Park Avenue lyrics]

Put on your slumming clothes
And get your car let's go sightseeing
Where the high-toned people are

Come on, there's lots of fun in store for you
See how the other half lives on Park Avenue

Let's go slumming, take me slumming
Let's go slumming on Park Avenue

Let us hide behind a pair of fancy glasses
And make faces
When a member of the classes passes

Let's go smelling where they're dwelling
Sniffing ev'rything the way they do

Let us go to it, they do it
Why can't we do it too?
Let's go slumming, nose thumbing
On Park Avenue

Let's go slumming, take me slumming
Let's go slumming on Park Avenue

Where the social hearts for
Broadway lights are throbbing
And they spend their nights in
Smart cafes hobknobbing, snobbing

Come, let's eye them pass right by them
Looking down our noses as they do

Let us go to it, they do it
Why can't we do it too?
Let's go slumming, crumb bumming
On Park Avenue
