Ella Fitzgerald Puttin` On The Ritz Lyrics

Puttin` On The Ritz Lyrics

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 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 daycoat
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 where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or "umberellas"
In their mitts
Puttin` on the Ritz

------ short instrumental break ------

Tips his hat just like an English chappie
To a lady with a wealthy pappy
Very snappy

You`ll declare it`s simply topping
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits
Puttin` on the Ritz
