Puttin´on the Ritz |
| 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 |
