Mel Tormé - Putting On The Ritz Lyrics
Have you seen the well-to-doUp and down Park AvenueOn that famous thoroughfareWith their noses in the airHigh hats and arrowed collarsWide spats and fifteen dollarsSpending every dimeFor a wonderful timeIf you're blue and you don't knowWhere to go to, why don't you goWhere fashion sitsPutting on the RitzDifferent types, who wear a day coatPants with stripes and cut away coatPerfect fitsPutting on the RitzDressed up like a million dollar trooperTrying hard to look like Gary CooperSuper-duperCome, let's mix where RockefellersWalk with sticks or umbrellasIn their mittsPutting on the RitzSpangled gowns upon a beautyOf hand-me-downs on clown and cutieAll misfitsPutting on the RitzStrolling up the avenue so happyAll dressed up just like an English chappieVery snappyYou'll declare it's simply toppingTo be there and hear them swappingSmart tidbitsPutting on the RitzPutting on the RitzPutting on the Ritz
