Puttin' On The Ritz
Lyrics
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lenox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air?
High hats and colored collars
White spats and fifteen 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 Harlem sits
Puttin' on the Ritz?
Spangled gowns upon the bevy
Of high browns from down the levy
All misfits
Puttin' on the Ritz
That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we'll attend
Their jubilee and see them spend
Their last two bits
Puttin' on the Ritz
If you're blue and you don't know
Where to go to, why don't you go
Where Harlem sits
Puttin' on the Ritz?
Spangled gowns upon the bevy
Of high browns from down the levy
All misfits
Puttin' on the Ritz
That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we'll attend
Their jubilee and see them spend
Their last two bits
Puttin' on the Ritz
