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" In their mitts Puttin' on the Ritz
------ short instrumental break ------
Tips his hat just like an English chappie To a lady with a wealthy pappy Very snappy
You'll declare it's simply topping To be there and hear them swapping Smart tidbits Puttin' on the Ritz
