Cole Porter
Well Did You Evah!
[MIKE:]
I have heard among this clan
You are called the forgotten man
[DEXTER:]
Is that what they're saying? Well, did you ever
What a swell party this is
[MIKE:]
And have you heard the story of
A boy, a girl, unrequited love
[DEXTER:]
Sounds like pure soap opera
[MIKE:]
I may cry
[DEXTER:]
Tune in tomorrow
What a swell party this is
What frills, what frocks
[MIKE:]
What broads!
[DEXTER:]
What furs, what rocks!
[MIKE:]
They're beautiful
[DEXTER:]
Why, I've never seen such gaity
[MIKE:]
Neither have I
[DEXTER:]
Its all just too, too exquis, really
[MIKE:]
This french champagne
[DEXTER:]
Domestic
[MIKE/DEXTER:]
So good for the brain
[MIKE:]
That's what I was going to say
[DEXTER:]
You know you're a brilliant fellow?
[MIKE:]
Why, thank you
[DEXTER:]
Drink up, chap
And please don't eat that glass, my friend
Have you heard about dear Blanche?
Got run down by an avalanche
[MIKE:]
No!
[DEXTER:]
Oh, don't worry, she's a game girl, you know
Got up and finished 4th
[MIKE:]
This kid's got guts
[DEXTER:]
Having a nice time? Grab a line
[MIKE:]
Have you heard that Mimsie Starr
[DEXTER:]
Oh, what now?
[MIKE:]
She got pinched in the Astor bar
[DEXTER:]
Sauced again, eh?
[MIKE:]
She was stoned
[DEXTER]
Well, did you ever?
[MIKE:]
Never!
[DEXTER/MIKE:]
What a swell party this is!
[MIKE:]
It's great
[DEXTER:]
Ah, it's great
[MIKE:]
It's grand
[DEXTER:]
So grand
[MIKE/DEXTER:]
It's wonderland!
La da da da...
[DEXTER:]
We sing
[MIKE:]
Oh, we sing
[DEXTER:]
So rare
[MIKE:]
So rare
[DEXTER/MIKE:]
Like old Camembert
Like Baba au Rhum!
[DEXTER:]
Bababababum
[MIKE:]
Don't dig that kind of crooning, chum!
[MIKE/DEXTER:]
Have you heard, it's in the stars
Next July we collide with Mars?
Well, did you ever?
What a swell party, a swell party
A swellegant, elegant party this is!
[DEXTER:]
I drink to your health
[MIKE:]
Nah, lets drink to your wealth
[DEXTER:]
You're my bon ami
[MIKE:]
Hey, that's french
[DEXTER:]
Liberty
[DEXTER/MIKE:]

Have you heard, it's in the stars
Next July we collide with Mars?
Well, did you ever?
What a swell party, swell party
Swellegant, elegant party this is!
