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)



Come 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.
