Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
And have you heard the story of
A boy, a girl, unrequited love
Sounds like pure soap opera
I may cry
Tune in tomorrow
What a swell party this is
[Verse 3]
What frails, what frocks
What broads
What furs, what rocks
They're beautiful
Why, I've never seen such gaiety
Neither have I
It's all just too, too exquis, really
[Verse 4]
This french Champagne
Domestic
So good for the brain
That's what I was gonna say
You know you're a brilliant fellow?
Thank you
Drink up chap
Ah please don't eat that glass, my friend
[Verse 5]
Have you heard about dear Blanche?
Got run down by an avalanche
No
Don't worry, she's a game girl, you know
Got up and finished fourth
This kid's got guts
Having a nice time? Grab a line
[Verse 6]
Have you heard that Mimsie Starr
Oh, what now?
She got pinched in the Aster bar?
Sauce again, eh?
She was stoned
Well did you evah?
Never?
What a swell party this is
[Verse 7]
It's great
Ah, it's great
It's grand
So grand
It's wonderland
La, la, la, la
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Ya, da, dum, bum, bum
La, la, la, la
La, da, da, da, da, ya, da, dum, bum
La, da, da, da, da, da, ya, da, da, we sing
[Verse 8]
We sing
So rare
So rare
Like old Camembert
Like Baba au Rhum
Ba, ba, ba, ba, bum
Don't dig that kind of crooning, chum
[Verse 9]
Have you heard, it's in the stars
Next July, we collide with Mars
Well did you evah?
What a swell party, a swell party
A swell-egant, elegant party this is
[Verse 10]
I drink to your health
Nah, let's drink to your wealth
You're my bon ami
Hey, that's french
Liberty
Fraternity
[Verse 11]
Have you heard, it's in the stars
Next July, we collide with Mars
Well did you evah?
What a swell party, swell party
Swell-egant, elegant party this is
