Lyrics Puttin' on the Ritz - The Pasadena Roof Orchestra

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lenox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air?

High hats and hollow collars
Wide 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

Sprangled gowns upon a 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 the swell beaus

Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the Ritz

That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Thursday evening with their swell beaus
Rubbin' elbows

Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz
