WHAT A SWELL PARTY
Autor:Cole Porter
Intérpretes: Bing Crosby/ Frank Sinatra
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
And have you heard the story of a boy, a girl,
Unrequited love?
Sounds like your soap opera
I may cry
Tune in tomorrow
What a swell party this is
What frails
What frocks
R: What broads
J: What pearls
What rocks
They're bootiful
I've never seen such gaiety
Neither have I
It's all just too, too risqué really
This French champagne
Domestic
So good for the brain
That's what I was gonna say
You know you're a brilliant fellow?
Why thank you
J: Pick it up, Jack
Oh please don't eat the glass, my friend
Have you heard about dear Blanche?
Got run down by an avalanche
No!
Oh, don't worry, she's a game girl you know
Got up and finished 4th
The kid's got guts
Havin' a nice time?
Grab a line
Have you heard that Mimsy Star
Oh, what now?
She got pinched in the ass to bar
Slushed again, ey?
She was stoned
Well did you evah
Nevah
What a swell party this is
Hey check out that ass!
Aah, that's a lovely dress,
you think I could talk her out of it?
It's great
Ah, it's great
So grand
So grand
This wo-...-nderland
La la......
Ladada...
We sing
Oh we sing
So rare
So rare
Like old camembert
Old camembert
Like ba, ba rum
Ba ba ba bum
Don't dig that kind of crooning, chum
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 swellegant, elegant party this is
I drink to your health
Naah, let's drink to your wealth
You're my bon ami
Hey, that's French
Liberty
Fraternity
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 swellegant, elegant party this is
