[Verse:]
|
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
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
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 ev'rything 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
|
|
[2nd refrain:]
|
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
|
