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 cut-away 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 Rockafellas 
walk with sticks or umbrellas in their mitts 
Puttin' on the Ritz 

Bridge:
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
