Puttin' on the Ritz Songtext
von Benny Goodman

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
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
Now, 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 coat
Perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper
Come, let′s mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or "umberellas"
In their mitts
Puttin′ on the Ritz
Tips his hat just like an English chappie
To a lady with a wealthy pappy
Very snappy
You'll declare it
′S simply topping
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits
Puttin' on the Ritz
