Ella Fitzgerald - Slumming on Park Avenue lyrics
[Ella Fitzgerald - Slumming on Park Avenue lyrics]
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
