Berlin Irving Puttin` On The Ritz (1929 Version) Lyrics

Puttin` On The Ritz (1929 Version) Lyrics

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lennox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare 
With their noses in the air
High hats and collared 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 Harlem sits
Puttin' on the ritz

Spangled gowns 
Upon a bevy 
Of high browns 
From down the levy
All misfits
Puttin' on the ritz

That's where each and every lulubelle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows

Come with me 
And we'll attend 
Their jubilee
And see them spend 
Their last two bits
Puttin' on the ritz
