Richard M. Sherman - The Happiest Millionaire

Off Rittenhouse Square

Nearly every Philadelphian nearly always agrees
The model Philadelphians are the old families
And the oldest and the finest Philadelphia families
Share that rare residential area just off Rittenhouse Square
Off Rittenhouse Square
The grandest family trees all grow
Off Rittenhouse Square
With famous names of long ago
Off Rittenhouse Square
Their seeds began to blossom that are blooming everywhere
Off Rittenhouse
Off Rittenhouse
Just off Rittenhouse Square
They're simple and conservative
Off Rittenhouse Square
In how they dress and how they live
Off Rittenhouse Square
They set the Philadelphia style, serene and debonair
That proud posterity of fathers of liberty
Who live off Rittenhouse Square
They're highly socially registered
Off Rittenhouse Square
They're cooped and buttled and chauffered
Off Rittenhouse Square
The children always marry well
And settle you know where
Off Rittenhouse
Off Rittenhouse
Just off Rittenhouse Square
They're bursting forth with civic pride
Off Rittenhouse Square
They hope in charity avide
Off Rittenhouse Square
And just the upper working class
Can serve with savoir-faire
That proud posterity of fathers of liberty
Who live off Rittenhouse
Off Rittenhouse
Just off Rittenhouse Square
