Puttin' On The Ritz Songtext
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, lets mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or umberellas
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 its simply topping
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits
Puttin' on the ritz
