Puttin’ On The Ritz

Have you seen the well to do?

Up and down Park Aven    ue?

On that famous       thoroughfare?

With their noses       in the air?

High hats and narrow collars

White spats and 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 cutaway coat, perfect fits,

Puttin on the Ritz!

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper

Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper, Super-duper!

Come, let’s mix with rockefellers walk

with sticks or ‘um-be-rellas” in their mitts,

Puttin on the Ritz!
