Puttin’ on the Ritz
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lenox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and narrow collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
On a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where Harlem flits
Puttin' on the ritz
Spangled gowns upon the bevy of high brows
From down the levee, all misfits
Puttin' on the ritz
And that's where each and every Lulu Bell goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the ritz
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lenox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and narrow collars
White spats and fifteen 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
Spangled gowns upon a bevy of high brows
From down the levee, all misfits
Puttin' on the ritz
That's where each and every Lulu Bell goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the ritz
Up on Lenox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and narrow collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
On a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where Harlem flits
Puttin' on the ritz
Spangled gowns upon the bevy of high brows
From down the levee, all misfits
Puttin' on the ritz
And that's where each and every Lulu Bell goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the ritz
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lenox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and narrow collars
White spats and fifteen 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
Spangled gowns upon a bevy of high brows
From down the levee, all misfits
Puttin' on the ritz
That's where each and every Lulu Bell goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the ritz
