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
Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes
And cutaway coat, perfect fits, puttin' on the Ritz
Bridge one
Strolling up the avenue so happy
All dressed up just like an English chappie very snappy
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
Or "umber-ellas" in their mitts, puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
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
