Puttin' On The Ritz Lyrics

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lenox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and arrowed collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
On a wonderful timeIf you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where Harlem flits
Puttin' on the ritzSpangled gowns upon a bevy of high browns
From down the levee, all misfits
Puttin' on the ritzThat's where each and ev'ry Lulu Bell goes
Ev'ry Thursday ev'ning with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbowsCome with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the ritzHave you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lenox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare

With their noses in the air
High hats and arrowed collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful timeIf you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where Fashion sits
Puttin' on the ritzSpangled gowns upon a bevy of high browns
From down the levee, all misfits
Puttin' on the ritzThat's where each and ev'ry Lulu Bell goes
Ev'ry Thursday ev'ning with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbowsCome with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the ritz
