puttin' on the ritz

Singer:fitzgerald, ella

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 daycoat

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 umberellas"
