Puttin' On The Ritz Lyrics

(Irving Berlin)

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 arrowed collars

Wide spats and fifteen 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

Different types, who wear a day coat

Pants with stripes, and cut away 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 Rockerfellers

Walk with sticks, or umber-ellas

In their mitts

Puttin' on the Ritz

Spangled gowns upon a beauty

Of hand-me-downs, on clown and cutie

All misfits

Puttin' on the Ritz

Strolling up the avenue so happy

All dressed up just like an English chappie

Very snappy!

You'll declare it's simply topping

To be there, and hear them swapping

Smart tidbits

Puttin' on the Ritz

Puttin' on the Ritz

Puttin' on the Ritz
