Putti´n on the ritz

Putti´n on the ritz Lyrics

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 trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)

Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
or "umberellas" in their mitts,
Puttin' on the ritz.

Tips his hat just like an English chap-pie,
To a lady with a wealthy pappy, (very snappy)

You’ll declare it’s simply top thing to be there
And hear them swapping smart tid-bits
Puttin’ on the ritz
