| Lyrics: | 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 arrow collars White spats and lots of dollars Spending every dime For a wonderful time [Chorus] 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 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 |
