Ella Fitzgerald Slumming On Park Avenue Lyrics

Slumming On Park Avenue Lyrics

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 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 chorus:]
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
