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 trooper
Tryin' 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 thorough fare
With their noses in the air 
High hats, and arrow collars
White spats, and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
