Cole Porter - Well Did You Evah! lyrics

rate me

I have heard among this clan,

You are called the forgotten man

(is that what they're saying, well did you evah!)

(what a swell party this is)

And have you heard the story of,

A boy, a girl, unrequited love

(sounds like pure soap opera, tune in tomorrow) I

may cry

(what a swell party this is)

(what frills, what frocks) What broads!

(what furs, what rocks!) They're bootiful.

(Why I've never seen such gaity) Neither have I.

(Its all just too, too risque really)

This french champagne (domestic)

(so good for the brain) Thats what I was going to

say.

(you know you're a brilliant fellow?) Why thank

you

(pick up jack. please don't eat that glass my friend)

(Have you heard, about dear Blanche?)

(Got run down by an avalanche) No!

(oh don't worry, shes a game girl you know, got

up and finished 4th)

The kids got guts. (Having a nice time? Grab a

line!)

Have you heard that Mimsie Starr (what now)

She got pinched in the Astor bar

(sloshed again, eh?) She was stoned.

Well, did you evah? (Never!)

What a swell party this is!

Hey, check out that act! (That's a lovely dress.

You think I can talk her out of it?)

It's great, (aah it's great)

so grand! (so grand)

It's wonderland!

la da da da...

(We sing), oh we sing

(so rare) so rare

(Like old camembert)

(Like baba au rhum!)

Don't dig that kind of crooning chum!

Have you heard? It's in the stars

Next July we collide with Mars.

Well, did you evah?

What a swell party, a swell party

A swelligant, elegant party this is!

(I drink to your health)

Naw, lets drink to your wealth

Your my bon ami

hey, thats french

A liberty fraternity

Have you heard? It's in the stars

Next July we collide with Mars.

Well, did you evah?

What a swell party, swell party

Swelligant, elegant party this is!
