A Couple of Swells ( With Gudy Garland) |
We’re a couple of swells |
We stop at the best hotels |
But we prefer the country far away from the city smells |
We’re a couple of sports |
The pride of the tennis courts |
In June, July and August we look cute when we’re dressed in shorts |
The Vanderbilts have asked us up for tea |
We don’t know how to get there, no siree |
No, siree |
We would drive up the Avenue, but we haven’t got the price |
We would skate up the Avenue, but there isn’t any ice |
We would ride on a bicycle, but we haven’t got a bike |
So we’ll walk up the Avenue |
Yes, we’ll walk up the Avenue |
And to walk up the Avenue’s what we like |
Wall Street bankers are we With plenty of currency |
We’d open up the safe but we forgot where we put the key |
We’re the favorite lads |
Of girls in the picture ads |
We’d like to tell you who we kissed last night but we can’t be cads |
The Vanderbilts are waiting at the club |
But how are we to get there, that’s the rub |
That’s the rub |
We would sail up the Avenue, but we haven’t got a yacht |
We would drive up the Avenue, but the horse we had was shot |
We would ride on a trolley car but we haven’t got the fare |
So we’ll walk up the Avenue |
Yes, we’ll walk up the Avenue |
Yes, we’ll walk up the Avenue till we’re there |
We would swim up the Avenue but we haven’t any lake |
So we’ll walk up the Avenue |
Yes, we’ll walk up the Avenue |
Yes, a walk up the Avenue’s what we’ll take |
