Puttin' on the Ritz Lyrics
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 narrow collars
White spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
Now, 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 trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super duper
Come, let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or "umbrellas"
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
Tips his hat just like an English chappie
To a lady with a wealthy pappy
Very snappy
You'll declare it's simply topping
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
White spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
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
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super duper
Walk with sticks or "umbrellas"
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
To a lady with a wealthy pappy
Very snappy
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits
Puttin' on the Ritz
