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.
 Puttin' on the ritz.
