Well, Did You Evah? 1940 Cole Porter - 'High Society'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 08 Jun 2003

Have you heard? The word is out.
Bombay Gin from the bathtub spout.
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
Have you heard?
The brothers Lord
switch first names when they're really bored.
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
How wild, how strange.
How quickly things change.
The moon? Who knows.
Champagne? I suppose.
How wrong. How right.
How midsummer night.
A freeforall.
The alchemy of alcohol.
Have you heard?
We're all the rage.
Men, I mean of a certain age,
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!

Poor you, poor me.
A fine pair are we.
Pursued like prey.
The catch of the day.
What fun! It's not.
That's right, I forgot.
Ah, well I know.
But thank you, God, for Verve Cliquot!
have you heard? It's almost dawn.
Mow the bubbly and pour the lawn!
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
Have a drink, in fact, have two!
Don't look now, but we've had a few!
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
