Up and down park avenue |

On that famous thoroughfare |

With their noses in the air |

High hats and narrow collars |
|
White spats and lots of dollars |
|
Spending every dime |
|
For a wonderful time |
|
|
|
Now, if you're blue |
|
And you don't know where to go to |
|
Why don't you go where fashion sits |

Different types who wear a daycoat |
|
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat |
|
Perfect fits |

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper |
|
Trying hard to look like gary cooper |
|
|
|
Super-duper |

|
Come, let's mix where rockefellers |
|
Walk with sticks or "umberellas" |
|
In their mitts |

|
To a lady with a wealthy pappy |
|
Very snappy |

|
To be there and hear them swapping |
|
Smart tidbits |
