[A#]
[F#] [D#m] [F]
[C#] We're a couple of swells, we stop at the best hotels,
[Fm] But we [G#] prefer the country far away from the [C#] city [F#] smells.
[Fm] [F] [F#]
We're a couple of sports, the [Dm] pride of the tennis [Fm] courts,
In [D#] June, July and August [C#] we look cute when we're dressed in shorts.
The
[D#] [F] police have asked us up for tea, [D#] We don't know [G#] how to get there, no sirree,
no sirree.
[A#m] We [C#] would drive up the avenue,
[F#] But we haven't [C] got the price.
[C#] We would skate up the avenue,
[D#] But there isn't [G#m] any ice.
[C#] We would ride on a bicycle,
But we haven't got a bike.
So we'll walk up the avenue,
Yes, [D#m] we'll walk up the avenue, And [Cm] to walk up the avenue's what [F] we like.
[C#]
[F#] [D#m] [F#]
[C#]
Wall Street bankers are we, With plenty of [F#] currency.
We [C#] open up the safe, But we forgot where we put the key.
[F#] [C#] We're the favorite lads, Of girls in the picture [Fm] ads,
We'd like to tell you who we kissed [C#] last night, But we can't be [F#] cabs.
[C#]
[G#] [F] The girls are waiting at the club, [D#] But how are we to get there?
[G#] That's the rub, that's the rub.
[A#m] We would [C#] sail up the [A#m] avenue,
But we [D#m] haven't got a yacht.
[C#] We would drive up [A#] the avenue,
But the horse we had was shot.
We would ride on a trolley [C#] car,
But we [D#m] haven't got the fare.
[C#] So we'll walk up the avenue,
[D#m] Yes, we'll walk up the avenue, [Cm] Yes, we'll walk up the avenue,
Till [F] we're [D#] there.
