Puttin' on the Ritz - The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, Ирвинг Берлин

Have you seen the well-to-do up on Lenox Avenue

On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air

High hats and colored collars, white spats and fifteen 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 Harlem sits

Puttin' on the ritz

Spangled gowns upon a bevy of high browns

From down the levee, all misfits

Puttin' on the ritz

That's where each and every lulubelle goes

Ev'ry Thursday evening with her swell beaus

Rubbing elbows

Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee

And see them spend their last two bits

Puttin' on the ritz
