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 daycoat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coats, 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 Rockafellers
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
Spendin' every dime
For a wonderful time

Downtown, uptown
Get your kicks at the Ritz
Dine and wine but not 'til noon
Time is right for us tonight now 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
How 'bout you and me says
