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 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.
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.
Puttin` on the ritz.
Puttin` on the ritz.
