Puttin' On The Ritz Songtext
von The Puppini Sisters with Cris Penfold

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lennox 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 fashion sits?
Putting on the Ritz
Different types of every take
All pairs with stripes and cutaway
Girls' perfect fits
Putting on the Ritz


Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Alice Cooper
Super-duper, come let's mix
The Rockefellers walk with sticks
Or umbrellas in their mitts
Putting on the Ritz

If you′re blue and you don′t know
Where to go to
Why don't you go where Harlem sits?
Spangled gowns upon the bayview
High browns down by the levee
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 the jubilee
And watch them spend their last two bits
Putting on the Ritz

So come with me
And we′ll attend the jubilee
And watch them spend their last two bits
Putting on the Ritz
