Puttin' On The Ritz Lyrics
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes
and cutaway coat, perfect fits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
or "umberellas" in their mitts,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Have you seen the well-to-do up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air
High hats and Arrow collars white spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime for a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Puttin' on the ritz.
Puttin' on the ritz.
why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
and cutaway coat, perfect fits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
or "umberellas" in their mitts,
Puttin' on the ritz.
On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air
High hats and Arrow collars white spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime for a wonderful time
why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Puttin' on the ritz.
Puttin' on the ritz.

I was on the phone one day when this song came on and I sang everyword and my friend thought I was crazy. I didn't know who sang it or what it was called. So it came on again and I searched. This song is a great feel good song..very fun to creep your friends out with.

nuttin better then a nice taco
I love tacos. and i also love this song. very catchy.
I sing this song at school a lot..
Okay i just downloaded this song and it said it was by They Might Be Giants... and it sounds just like TMBG. Great song, but who sings it?
This song is a total pisser when your drunk...i was in tears laughing
All about making fun of the self-conscious "high society", that's what going on here. Er, that's what my dad told me.
This is only a third of the song. Whats up with that?
I dedicate this song to Chrysal, my slutty rich cousin. WHAT DO YOU NEED A BATHROOM FLOOR THAT HEATS UP IN THE WINTER? Slut.
This song was referenced on Family Guy, that's the only reason why I know it. It's not originally by "Taco," but it is catchy.
