HIGH SOCIETY
(Don Swan / Alan Copeland / Mort Greene)


Frankie Laine & Jo Stafford - 1955





FL:
Hey there, Honey, we haven't got much money
Our cupboard's almost bare, our clothes are old and funny
JS:
Say there, Honey, we don't need any money
Tonight we haven't got a care

BOTH:
We're gonna be in high society
We'll strut on down to the finest part of town
I don't have rings and all those fancy things
But as long as you love me, we're in high society

(Instrumental Break)

BOTH:
We're gonna be in high society
We'll laugh and play, and at the break of day
We'll climb the stairs, two tired millionaires
Just as long as you love me, we're in high society


********************


ADDITIONAL VERSE:

While I go get my hat, put some powder on your nose
While I let in the cat, there's some windows you can close
The bed can stay that way, leave the dishes in the sink
Leave the ashes in the tray and be ready in a wink
