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
Come let's mix where
Rockefellers
walk with sticks
or umbrellas 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

Downtown uptown
get your kicks
at the Ritz
Dine and wine
but not 'til nine
the time is right
for us tonight
We can move
move to the rhythm
we can
move
dance to the rhythm
nice and easy
I want you to move
Put it on puttin' it on
puttin' it on
puttin' it on
The r-i-t-z
how about you and me says
Gotta dance
Gotta dance
If you're blue and

Puttin' on the Ritz
