I have heard among this clan
You are called the forgotten man ?
Is that what they're saying?
Well did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
.
And have you heard the story of
The boy, the girl on requited love?
That's like your soap opera
And they cried
Doing it tommorrow
What a swell party this is
.
What frails, what frocks
(what frocks)
What furs, what rocks
(They are beautiful)
I've never seen such gaiety!
(neither have I)
It's all just too tourist care really
..
This french champagne
( missed it)
So good for the brain
That's what I was gonna say
You know you are a brilliant fella
Well thank you
Pick it up Jack
But please don't eat the glass my friend
..
have you heard the poor dear blanche
Got run down by an avalanche?
No
Oh Don't worry she is a game drill you know
Got down and finished fourth
The kid has guts
Having a nice time?
Grab a line
..
Have you heard that mimsie star
(what now)
She got pinched in the astor bar?
(it's not that goot ain't it)
She was stoned
Well, did you evah?
Never
What a swell party this is!
..
Hey check it out
That's a lovely dress
You think you can talk her out of it?
..
It's great, so grant
It's wonderland
...
Oh we sing
(oh we sing)
So grand
( so grand)
Like old camembert!
Like baba rum
Don't dig that kind of prooning charm
..
Have you heard? it's in the stars
Next july we collide with mars.
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party
Swell party
Swelegant
Elegant party
This is..
.....
I drink to your health
No lets drink to your wealth
You are my bon ami
Hey that's french
And liberty, fraternity
.
Have you heard? it's in the stars
Next july we collide with mars.
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party
Swell party
Swelegant
Elegant party
This is..
Kindly don't fall down, my friend.
Have you heard? professor munch
Ate his wife and divorced his lunch.
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
Have you heard? the countess krupp
Crossed the bridge when the bridge was up
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
