Lyrics Irving Berlin

Irving Berlin

Puttin’ On The Ritz

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 Arrowed collars, white spats and lots of 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.

Different types who wear a daycoat, pants with stripes

And cut away coat, perfect fits,

Puttin\' on the ritz.

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper

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 titbits

Puttin\' on the ritz!
