"Puttin' On The Ritz" lyrics - FRED ASTAIRE
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.
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying mighty 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.
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
