Well Did You Evah Songtext
von Frank Sinatra

I have heard among this clan
You are called a forgotten man
Is that what they′re sayin'? 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 (I may cry)
Tune in tomorrow
What a swell party this is

What frails, what frocks (what broads?)
What furs what rocks (they′re beautiful)
Why, I've never seen such gaiety (niether th-did I)
It's all just too, too exquis, really

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
Oh, please don't eat that glass my friend


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 4th (this kid′s got guts)
Havin' a nice time? Grab a line

Have you heard that Mimsie Star (oh, what now?)
She got pinched in the Astor bar? (Sauced again, eh?)
She was stoned! (Well, did you evah?) Never!
What a swell party this is

It′s great (oh, it's great)
It's grand (so grand)
It′s wonderland

(La-la) la-da-da, da-da-da, da-da (la-la)
Ya-da-dum, bom-bom
(La-la) la-da-da, da-da-da, ya-da-da (la-la)
Bom, la-da-da-da, ya-da-da-da

We sing (we sing)
So rare (so rare)
Like old Camembert

Like Baba au Rhum (ba-ba-ba-ba-bom)
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
(Nah, let′s drink to your wealth)
You're my bon ami (hey, that′s French!)
A-liberty, fraternity!

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