Puttin' on the Ritz (Fred Aster, Blue Skies, 1946)
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, Wide spats, a 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 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 Rockerfellers Walk with sticks or umbrellas' In their mitts Puttin' on the Ritz
