Slumming on Park Avenue — текст песни (Ella Fitzgerald)

Put on your slumming clothes and get your car

Lets go sightseeing where the high-toned people are

Come on, theres lots of fun in store for you

See how the other half lives on park avenue



Lets go slumming, take me slumming

Lets go slumming on park avenue



Let us hide behind a pair of fancy glasses

And make faces when a member of the classes passes



Lets go smelling where theyre dwelling

Sniffing evrything the way they do



Let us go to it, they do it

Why cant we do it too?

Lets go slumming, nose thumbing, on park avenue





[2nd chorus:]

Lets go slumming, take me slumming

Lets 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 lets eye them, pass right by them

Looking down our noses as they do



Let us go to it, they do it

Why cant we do it too?

Lets go slumming, crumb bumming, on park avenue
