Puttin' on The Ritz - Irving Berlin
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 day coat 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 "umbrellas" In their mitts Puttin' on the Ritz 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
