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 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 Diff'rent 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 "um-ber-ellas" in their mitts Puttin' on the Ritz
Strolling down the avenue so happy All dressed up just like an English chappie Very snappy
You'll declare it's simply "top-thing" to be there And hear them swapping smart tidbits Puttin' on the Ritz
