Irving Berlin
A Couple Of Swells
Álbum: Desconhecido
Composição: Desconhecido

Were a couple of swells
We stop at the best hotels
But we prefer the country far away from the city smells
Were a couple of sports
The pride of the tennis courts
In June, July and August we look cute when were dressed in shorts
The Vanderbilts have asked us up for tea
We dont know how to get there, no siree
No, siree

We would drive up the Avenue, but we havent got the price
We would skate up the Avenue, but there isnt any ice
We would ride on a bicycle, but we havent got a bike
So well walk up the Avenue
Yes, well walk up the Avenue
And to walk up the Avenues what we like

Wall Street bankers are we
With plenty of currency
Wed open up the safe but we forgot where we put the key
Were the favorite lads
Of girls in the picture ads
Wed like to tell you who we kissed last night but we cant be cads
The Vanderbilts are waiting at the club
But how are we to get there, thats the rub
Thats the rub

We would sail up the Avenue, but we havent 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 havent got the fare
So well walk up the Avenue
Yes, well walk up the Avenue
Yes, well walk up the Avenue till were there

We would swim up the Avenue but we havent any lake
So well walk up the Avenue
Yes, well walk up the Avenue
Yes, a walk up the Avenues what well take
