A Couple Of Swells (From Easter Parade) - Fred Astaire/Judy Garland
Written by：Berlin Irving
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
