Puttin' On The Ritz Songtext
von Fred Astaire

Puttin′ on the ritz
Puttin' on the ritz
Puttin′ on the ritz
Puttin' on the ritz
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
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 day coat
Pants with stripes and cut-a-way 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 Rockefellers walk with sticks or um-ber-ellas
In their mitts
Puttin' on the ritz

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 day coat
Pants with stripes and cut-a-way coats
Perfect fits
Puttin′ on the ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying mighty hard to look like super-duper
Mister Cooper
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks or um-ber-ellas
In their mitts
Puttin′ on the ritz


Puttin' on the ritz
Puttin′ on the ritz
Puttin' on the ritz
Puttin′ on the ritz
Puttin' on the ritz
Puttin' on the ritz
