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 daycoat Pants with stripes and cutaway coats, 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 Rockafellers Walk with sticks or umbrellas in their mitts Puttin' on the ritz
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 Spendin' every dime For a wonderful time
