Puttin' on the Ritz (from "Idiot's Delight")

Have you seen the well-to-do\nUp and down Park Avenue\nOn that famous thoroughfare\nWith their noses in the air\nHigh hats and arrow collars\nWhite spats and lots of dollars\nSpending every dime\nFor a wonderful time\nNow, if you’re blue\nAnd you don’t know where to go to\nWhy don’t you go where fashion sits\nPuttin' on the Ritz\nDifferent types who wear a daycoat\nPants with stripes and cutaway coat\nPerfect fits\nPuttin' on the Ritz\nDressed up like a million dollar trooper\nTrying hard to look like Gary Cooper\nSuper-duper\nCome, let’s mix where Rockefellers\nWalk with sticks or «umberellas»\nIn their mitts\nPuttin' on the Ritz\nTips his hat just like an English chappie\nTo a lady with a wealthy pappy\nVery snappy\nYou’ll declare it\n's simply topping\nTo be there and hear them swapping\nSmart tidbits\nPuttin' on the Ritz
