Irving Berlin - Slumming on Park Avenue lyrics

rate me

Put on your slumming clothes and get your car

Let's go sightseeing where the high-toned people are

Come onthere's lots of fun in store for you

See how the other half lives on park avenue

Let's go slummingtake 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 itthey do it

Why can't we do it too?

Let's go slummingnose thumbingon park avenue

[2nd chorus:]

Let's go slummingtake 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 hobknobbingsnobbing

Come let's eye thempass right by them

Looking down our noses as they do

Let us go to itthey do it

Why can't we do it too?

Let's go slummingcrumb bummingon park avenue
