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 cutaway coat,
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 "umberellas" in their mitts,
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

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

Gotta dance . . .
