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 sticksor "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.
