Текст песни Putting 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 arrowed collars,
Wide spats and fifteen dollars.
Spending every dime,
For a wonderful time !

If you're blue and you don' know,
Where to go to, why don't you go,
Where fashion sits ?
Putting On The Ritz.
Different types, who wear a day,
Co-pants with stripes, and cut away,
Coat, perfect fits ?
Putting On The Ritz.

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper,
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper.
Super-duper !

Come, let's mix where Rockerfellas,
Walk with sticks, or umbrellas,
In their mitts.
Putting On The Ritz.
Spangled gowns upon a beauty of hand-me-downs, on clown and cutie,
All misfits.
Putting On The Ritz.

Tips his hat just like an English chappie,
To a lady with the wealthy happy.
Very Snappy !

You'll declare it's simply topping,
To be there, and hear them swapping,
Smart titbits.
Putting On the Ritz (3x) !!
