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 [bad word] let's mix where Rockafellers
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
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 [bad word] let's mix where Rockafellers
Walk with sticks or umberellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
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, puttin' on the ritz

Down down, up down
Get your kicks on the ritz
Dining one but not till nine
The time is right for us tonight
We can move, move to the rhythm, we can
Move, dance to the rhythm, nice and easy
I want you to move

Puttin' it on, puttin' it on
Puttin' it on, puttin' it on the
Oh, I can see, how 'bout you and me, says

Gotta dance
Gotta dance
