If you're blue 
and you don't know 
where to go to
why don't you go 
where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Different types 
who wear a day coat 
pants with stripes 
and cutaway coat perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Dressed up like 
a million-dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to 
look like Gary Cooper (super duper)

Come let's mix 
where Rockefellers walk with sticks 
or um-ber-ellas 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 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 sits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Down-town, up-town, 
get your kicks at the Ritz
Dine 'n' wine,
but not 'til nine, 
the time is right for us tonight
We can move, 
move to the rhythm, you can

Move...dance to the rhythm, 
nice and easy 
I wantcha to move 

Puttin' it on,
puttin' it on,
puttin' it on,
puttin' it on the R - I -T - Z,
how 'bout you and me, says

Gotta dance..
Gotta dance

If you're blue 
and you don't know
where to go to 
why don't you go 
where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz..
