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
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper,
Tryin' hard to look like gary cooper,
Super duper!
Come let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or umberellas in their mits,
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 simply topping
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits,
Puttin' on the Ritz.
