Let's go slumming,
Take me slumming,
Let's go slumming on Park Avenue!
Let us hide behind a pair of fancy glasses,
And make faces when a ember of the classes passes!

Let's go smelling
Where they're dwelling,
Sniffing everything the way they do!
Let us go to it,
They do it,
Why can't we do it too?
Let's go slumming,
No scumming
At Park Avenue!

Let's go smelling
Where they're dwelling,
Sniffing everything the way they do!
Let us go to it,
They do it,
Why can't we do it too?
Let's go slumming,
No scumming
At Park Avenue!
