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 narrow collars
|
White spats and lots of dollars
|
Spending every dime
|
For a wonderful time
|
|
Now, 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 cutaway 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 where Rockefellers
|
Walk with sticks or "umberellas"
|
In their mitts
|
Puttin' on the Ritz
|
|
[Short Instrumental break]
|
|
Tips his hat just like an English chappie
|
To a lady with a wealthy pappy
|
Very snappy
|
|
You'll declare it's simply topping
|
To be there and hear them swapping
|
Smart tidbits
|
Puttin' on the Ritz
