Fred Astaire - Putting on the Ritz lyrics

[Fred Astaire - Putting on the Ritz lyrics]

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 sit's
Puttin' on the ritz

Different types who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes
And cutaway coat, perfect fit's
Puttin' on the ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying mighty 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

If you're blue and you don't
Know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sit's
(Puttin' on the ritz, Puttin' on the ritz)
(Puttin' on the ritz)
