We're a couple of swells; Good morning

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 sirree
No sirree...
We would ride 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 favourite lads
Of girls in the picture ads
We'd like to tell 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 ride up the avenue
But the horse we had was shot
We would go on a trolleycar
But we haven't got the fare
So we'll walk up the avenue
Yes we'll walk up the avenue
And 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!

Good morning, good morning
We've danced the whole night through
Good morning, good morning to you

Good morning, good morning
It's great to stay up late
Good morning, good morning to you

When the band began to play
The sun was shining bright
Now the milkman's on his way
It's too late to say goodnight

So, good morning, good morning
Sunbeams will soon smile through
Good morning, my darling, to you

Here we are together
A couple of stand-uppers
Our day is done, breakfast time
Starts with our supper

Here we are together
Ah, but the best of friends must party
So let me sing this party song
From the bottom of my hearty

Good morning, it's a lovely morning
Good morning, what a wonderful day
We danced the whole night through
Good morning, good morning to you

I said, "Good morning, see the sun is shining"
Good morning, hear the birdies sing
It's great to stay up late
Good morning, good morning to you

When the band began to play
The stars were shining bright
Now the milkman's on his way
It's too late to say goodnight

Good morning, good morning
Sunbeams will soon smile through
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, my darling, to you
