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