Puttin on the Ritz - Ella Fitzgerald, Paul Weston

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

Wide spats and fifteen dollars

Spending every dime

For a wonderful time !

If you’re blue and you don' know

Where to go to, why don’t you go

Where fashion sits?

Putting On The Ritz

Different types, who wear a day

Co-pants with stripes, and cut away

Coat, perfect fits?

Putting On The Ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper

Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper

Super-duper !

Come, let’s mix where Rockerfellas

Walk with sticks, or umbrellas

In their mitts

Putting On The Ritz

Spangled gowns upon a beauty of hand-me-downs, on clown and cutie

All misfits

Putting On The Ritz

Tips his hat just like an English chappie

To a lady with the wealthy happy

Very Snappy !

You’ll declare it’s simply topping

To be there, and hear them swapping

Smart titbits

Putting On the Ritz (3x) !!
