A couple Of Swells (1948)

Lyrics

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 Vanderbilt's
 Have asked us up for tea
 We don't know how to get there
 No sire, no sire
 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
 'Cause 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 Vanderbilt's
 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 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
