[Verse 1:]
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
[Verse 2:]
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
[Verse 3:]
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
[Verse 4:]
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
[Verse 5:]
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
