Puttin' on the Ritz

Have you seen the well-to-do
Upon Lennox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and narrow collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
On 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 a bevy
Of high brows from down the levy
All misfits
Puttin' on the Ritz
And 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
