Couple Of Swells A 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 Vanderbilts have asked us up for tea
We don`t know how to get there, no siree
No, siree

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
And 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 Vanderbilts 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 swim up the Avenue but we haven`t any lake
So we`ll walk up the Avenue
Yes, we`ll walk up the Avenue
Yes, a walk up the Avenue`s what we`ll take
