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
