Puttin' On The Ritz — Ella Fitzgerald

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 narrow collars

White spats and lots of dollars

Spending every dime

For a wonderful time

Now, if youre blue

And you dont know where to go to

Why dont you go where fashion sits

Puttin on the ritz

Different types who wear a daycoat

Pants with stripes and cutaway coat

Perfect fits

Puttin on the ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper

Trying hard to look like gary cooper

Super-duper

Come, lets mix where rockefellers

Walk with sticks or "umberellas"

In their mitts

Puttin on the ritz

------ short instrumental break ------

Tips his hat just like an english chappie

To a lady with a wealthy pappy

Very snappy

Youll declare its simply topping

To be there and hear them swapping

Smart tidbits

Puttin on the ritz
