Lyric Puttin On The Ritz

(Irving Berlin)

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
Tryin 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

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

[Repeat 1st verse]

Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Tryin hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
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
Puttin on the Ritz
Puttin on the Ritz
Puttin on the Ritz

(Down-town, up-town, get your kicks at the Ritz)
(Dine n wine, but not til nine, the time is right for us to tonight)
(We can move, move to the rhythm, you can)

(Move...dance to the rhythm, nice and easy)

(I wantcha to move)

(Puttin it on, puttin it on, puttin it on, puttin it on the R - I -T - Z, how bout you and me, says)

(Gotta dance...) (Gotta dance)

(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...)
