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
White 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 daycoat 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 with rockefellers walk
with sticks or 'um-be-rellas" in their mitts,
Puttin on the Ritz!
