[Mel Brooks, Shuler Hensley, Roger Bart - Puttin' on the Ritz lyrics]
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 daycoat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat
Perfect fit's puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
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 narrow collars
White spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime for a wonderful time
Now, 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 daycoat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat
Perfect fit's puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
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
Tips his hat just like an English chappie
To a lady with a wealthy pappy very snappy
You'll declare it's simply topping
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbit's
