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 pure soap opera, tune in tomorrow)
I may cry
(what a swell party this is)

(what frills, what frocks) What broads!
(what furs, what rocks!) They're bootiful.
(Why I've never seen such gaity) Neither have I.
(Its all just too, too risque really)

(Have you heard, about dear Blanche?)
(Got run down by an avalanche) No!

up and finished 4th)
The kids got guts. (Having a nice time? Grab a
line!)

Have you heard that Mimsie Starr (what now)
She got pinched in the Astor bar
(sloshed again, eh?) She was stoned.
Well, did you evah? (Never!)

Hey, check out that act! (That's a lovely dress)
You think I can talk her out of it?

(so rare) so rare
(Like old camembert)
(Like baba au rhum!)
Don't dig that kind of crooning chum!

Next July we collide with Mars.
Well, did you evah?

A swelligant, elegant party this is!
