Slumming On Park Avenue Songtext
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
