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 mighty 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
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)
(Puttin' on the ritz)
(Puttin' on the ritz)
