 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

 They're simple and conservative
 Off Rittenhouse Square

 Off Rittenhouse Square
 They set the Philadelphia style, serene and debonair

 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

 And just the upper working class
 Can serve with savoir-faire
