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 coats, perfect fits

Puttin’ on the Ritz



Dressed up like a million dollar trouper

Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)



Come let's mix where Rockafellers

walk with sticks or umbrellas in their mitts

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 arrow collars

White spats, and lots of dollars

Spendin' every dime

For a wonderful time!



If you're blue and you don't know where to go to

Why don't you go to where fashion sits

Puttin' on the ritz

Puttin' on the ritz

Puttin' on the ritz

Gotta Dance,

Gotta Daaaannnnncccceeee
