Puttin' On The Ritz Lyrics
Puttin' On The Ritz Song Lyrics
Have you seen the well-to-do
Upon Lennox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and narrow 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 Harlem flits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Spangled Gowns upon the bevy of
High browns from down the levy
All misfits
Puttin' on the Ritz
That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbin' elbows
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend
Their last two bits
Puttin' on the Ritz
------ short instrumental break ------
(Boys, look at that man puttin' on that Ritz)
(You look at him, I can't)
If you're blue
And you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where Harlem flits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Spangled Gowns upon the bevy of
High browns from down the levy
All misfits
Puttin' on that certain Ritz
That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbin' elbows
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend
Their last two bits
Puttin' on the Ritz
------ piano solo ------
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend
Their last two bits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Irving Berlin is considered classic songwriter & lyricist. One of his most known songs is the current one. This light jazz reveals the sensation of time – 1930-ies, with spats and hats – the common fashion then. The fancy public was gathering in Ritz, playing casino and entertaining themselves under the fast tempo of Harlem sounds. They say that Ritz every night gathers men and women from the seculars, dressed fashionably & there are so many of them that they touch with elbows.
