Puttin' On The Ritz

歌詞

[Revised 1946 version] [Verse:] 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 [Refrain:] 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 Diff'rent 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 Come, let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks Or "um-ber-ellas" in their mitts Puttin' on the ritz [Alternate lyrics:] Strolling up the avenue so happy All dressed up just like an English chappie Very snappy You'll declare it's simply topping [top-thing?] to be there And hear them swapping smart tidbits Puttin' on the ritz [Alternate lyrics from Fred Astaire's commercial recording:] Tips his hat just like an English chappie To a lady with a wealthy pappy Very snappy
