Puttin' On The Ritz Lyrics - Irving Berlin

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 day coat 

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 "umbrellas" 

In their mitts 

Puttin' on the Ritz 

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
