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 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 cut-away coats,
Perfect fits...
Puttin' on the Ritz.

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to be like Gary Cooper
Super-Duper. [bad word] let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks 
And um-ber-ellas in their mitts...
Puttin' on the Ritz.
Puttin' on the Ritz.
Puttin' on the Ritz.
Puttin' on the Ritz
