Puttin' On the Ritz
Have you seen the well-to-do
Strolling down Fifth Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and coloured collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
(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
Putting on the Ritz
Spangled gowns upon a bevy of highbrows, come from the levy, all misfits
Putting 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 a jubilee and see them spend their last two bits
Putting on the Ritz
Reuben treats his sweetie to
Highbrow drinks and oyster stew
Though he knows quite well his stash
Means six days on warmed-up hash
High spots today they'll borrow
Dry spots will come tomorrow
But nobody cares
Now they're millionaires
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where fashion sits
Putting on the Ritz
Spangled gowns upon a bevy of highbrows, come from the levy, all misfits
Putting 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 a jubilee and see them spend their last two bits
Putting on the Ritz (repeat and fade)
Strolling down Fifth Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and coloured collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
(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
Putting on the Ritz
Spangled gowns upon a bevy of highbrows, come from the levy, all misfits
Putting 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 a jubilee and see them spend their last two bits
Putting on the Ritz
Reuben treats his sweetie to
Highbrow drinks and oyster stew
Though he knows quite well his stash
Means six days on warmed-up hash
High spots today they'll borrow
Dry spots will come tomorrow
But nobody cares
Now they're millionaires
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where fashion sits
Putting on the Ritz
Spangled gowns upon a bevy of highbrows, come from the levy, all misfits
Putting 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 a jubilee and see them spend their last two bits
Putting on the Ritz (repeat and fade)
