Lyrics Slumming On Park Avenue - Eric Reed, Howard Alden, Ken Peplowski

Slumming On Park Avenue

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 everything 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
