Lyrics

Have you seen the well-to-do
Upon Lennox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air

High hats and coloured collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime on a wonderful time

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where Harlem flits

Puttin' on the Ritz

Spangled gowns upon the bevy of high browns
Down the levy all misfits

Put-tin' on the Ritz

That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
rubbin' elbows.

Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee and
See them spend their last two bits

Puttin' on the Ritz

Have you seen the well-to-do
Upon Lennox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air

High hats and coloured 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 fashion sits

Put-tin' on the Ritz

Spangled gowns upon the bevy of high browns
From down the levy all misfits

Puttin' on the Ritz

That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbin' elbows

Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits

Puttin' on the Ritz
