Putting on the Ritz

Have you seen the well-to-do Up on Lenox Avenue On that famous thoroughfare With their noses in the air? High hats and hollow collars Wide spats and fifteen 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 Harlem sits? Puttin' on the Ritz Sprangled gowns upon a bevy of high browns From down the levy, all misfits Puttin' on the Ritz That's where each and every lulu-belle goes Every Thursday evening with the swell beaus Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee And see them spend their last two bits Puttin' on the Ritz That's where each and every lulu-belle goes Every Thursday evening with their swell beaus Rubbin' elbows Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee And see them spend their last two bits Puttin' on the Ritz Puttin' on the Ritz Puttin' on the Ritz Puttin' on the Ritz
