Puttin' On The Ritz
Have you seen the well-to-doUp on Lenox AvenueOn that famous thoroughfareWith their noses in the airHigh hats and arrowed collarsWhite spats and fifteen dollarsSpending every dimeOn a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go toWhy don't you go where Harlem sitsPuttin' on the ritz
Spangled gowns upon a bevy of high brownsFrom down the levee, all misfitsPuttin' on the ritz
That's where each and ev'ry Lulu Bell goesEv'ry Thursday ev'ning with her swell beausRubbing elbows
Come with me and we'll attend their jubileeAnd see them spend their last two bitsPuttin' on the ritz
