*****
Have you seen the well to do up on lenox 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
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where harlem sits, puttin' on the ritz ?
Different types all wearing things
Put pants with stripes that run away from perfect fits
Puttin' on the ritz
That's where each and ev'ry lulu bell goes
Ev'ry 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
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the ritz
