Have you seen the well-to-do [Ab] up on Lennox [Gm] Avenue?
[Db] On [Gb] that famous [G] thoroughfare [Ab] with [G] their noses in the air?
[Db] High hats [Dm] and coloured [G] collars, [C] [A] white spats and [G] fifteen dollars
[A] Spending every dime [G] for [C] a wonderful time
[Fm] If you're blue and you don't know where to go
[Gm] Why don't you go where Harlem sits, [Ab] putting on the wits?

From down the [Gm] levee all misfits, [Ab] putting on the wits

[Bbm] That's where each and every [Eb] Lulabelle goes
Every Thursday [Ab] evening with [Eb] her swallows [Ab] rubbing elbows

And [C] see them spend their last two beats, putting [F] on the [Ab] wits
