Du Barry Was a Lady the Musical - Well, Did You Evah! Lyrics


The song is written by Cole Porter.

Have you heard, the Coast of Maine
Just got hit by a hurricane!
Well, did you evah!
What a swell party this is!
Have you heard, that poor dear Blanche,
Got run down by an avalanche!
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!

It's great! It's grand!
It's wonderland!
It's tops! It's first!
It's DuPont! It's Hurst!
What soup! What fish!
That meat, what a dish!
What salad! What cheese!
Pardon me, one moment please -

Have you heard, that Uncle Newt
Forgot to open his parachute!
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
Old Miss Pring who just came back
With her child and the child was black!
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
Have you heard, it's in the stars,
Next July we collide with Mars?
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
Have you heard, that Grandma Doyle,
Thought the Flit* was the min'ral oil!
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!

What Dacquiris,
What Sherry! Please!
What Burgundy,
What Great Pomery,
What Brandy - Wow!
What  Whisky, here's how!
What Gin and what beer...
Will you sober up my dear!

Have you heard Prof Munch
Ate his wife and divorced his lunch!
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
Have you heard, that Mimsy Starr
Just got pinched in the Astor Bar
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
Have you heard, that Poor old Ted
just turned up in an oyster bed
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!
Willie Lane had lousy luck,
She was there when the lightning struck!
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!

It's Fun, it's fine,
It's too divine!
It's smooth, it's smart,
It's Rodgers, it's Hart!
What debs, What stags!
What gossip, what gags!
What feathers! what fuss,
Just between the two of us!

Reggie Brand, the scatterbrain,
He dove in, when the pool was drained!
Well, did you evah? What a swell party this is!
Mrs. Smith, in her new Hup,
Crossed the bridge when the bridge was up!
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is!

Well, did you evah!
What a swell party this is...

Du Barry Was a Lady the Musical Lyrics

When Love Beckoned
But in the Morning, No!
Do I Love You?
Give Him the Ooh-La-La
Well, Did You Evah!
It Was Written in the Stars
Katie Went to Haiti
Friendship
