Intro: 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. Different types who wear a day coat, Pants with stripes and cutaway coat, perfect fits, puttin' on the Ritz. Bridge one: Strolling up the avenue so happy, All dressed up just like an English chappie—very snappy! Come, let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks Or 'um-ber-el-las' in their mitts, puttin' on the Ritz. Bridge two: Dressed up like a million-dollar trouper, Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper—super-duper! You'll declare it's simply topping to be there And hear them swapping smart tidbits, Puttin' on the Ritz, Puttin' on the Ritz, puttin' on the Ritz!
