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 hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)  [bad word] let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks 
or umberellas 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 

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.
