Sluming on Park Avenue - Petula Clark

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

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

Let’s go smelling where they’re dwelling

Sniffing everything 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

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

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
