Puttin' On The Ritz Lyrics
Puttin' On The Ritz - Harry Richman
Have you seen the well to do
Upon Lennon Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and colored collars
White 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 flits
Putting on the Ritz
Spangled gowns upon the bevy of high browns
From down the levy
All misfits
Putting on the Ritz
That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Putting on the Ritz
If you're blue
And you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where Harlem flits umm
Putting on the Ritz
Spangled gowns upon the bevy of high browns
From down the levy
All misfits
And how they're putting on the Ritz
That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Gotta putting on the Ritz
