Puttin' On the Ritz: Puttin’ On the Ritz |
Have you seen the well-to-do |
Up on Lennox Avenue |
On that famous thoroughfare |
With their noses in the air? |
High hats and colored 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 sits? |
Puttin' on the ritz |
Spangled gowns upon the bevee of high browns |
From down the levee |
All misfits |
Puttin' on the ritz |
That’s where each and every Lulu-Belle goes |
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus |
Rubbing elbows |
Come with me and we’ll attend |
Their jubilee, and see them spend |
Their last two bits |
Puttin' on the ritz |
If you’re blue and |
You don’t know where to go to |
Why don’t you go where Harlem sits? |
Mmmm |
Puttin' on the ritz |
Spangled gowns upon the bevee of high browns |
From down the levee |
All misfits |
And how they’re |
Puttin' on the ritz |
That’s where each and every Lulu-Belle goes |
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus |
Rubbing elbows |
Come with me and we’ll attend |
Their jubilee, and see them spend |
Their last two bits |
Just puttin' on the ritz |
