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 trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
(super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers
walk with sticksor "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 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.

and you don't know where to go to
