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
|
