Blue Skies movie - Puttin' on the Ritz lyrics

rate me

<br>

<br>

Have you seen the well-to-do<br>

Up and down Park Avenue<br>

On that famous thoroughfare<br>

With their noses in the air<br>

<br>

High hats and narrow collars<br>

White spats and lots of dollars<br>

Spending every dime<br>

For a wonderful time<br>

<br>

Now, if you're blue<br>

And you don't know where to go to<br>

Why don't you go where fashion sits<br>

Puttin' on the Ritz<br>

Different types who wear a daycoat<br>

Pants with stripes and cutaway coat<br>

Perfect fits<br>

Puttin' on the Ritz<br>

<br>

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper<br>

Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper<br>

Super-duper<br>

<br>

Come, let's mix where Rockefellers<br>

Walk with sticks or "umberellas"<br>

In their mitts<br>

Puttin' on the Ritz<br>

<br>

------ short instrumental break ------<br>

<br>

Tips his hat just like an English chappie<br>

To a lady with a wealthy pappy<br>

Very snappy<br>

<br>

You'll declare it's simply topping<br>

To be there and hear them swapping<br>

Smart tidbits<br>

<br>
