Puttin' On the Ritz Lyrics


Have you seen the well to do
Upon Lennon Avenue on that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air?High hats and narrow 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 Harlem flits? Putting' on the Ritz
Spangled gowns upon the bevy of high browns
From down the levy, all misfits, putting' on the RitzThat's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbin' elbowsCome with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the RitzBoys, look at that man puttin' on that Ritz
You look at him, I can'tIf you're blue, and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where Harlem flits? Puttin' on the Ritz
Spangled gowns upon the bevy of high browns
From down the levy, all misfits, puttin' on the RitzThat's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbin' elbowsCome with me and we'll attend their jubilee

And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the RitzCome with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 in Newport News, VA – June 15, 1996), also known as Lady Ella (the First Lady of Song), was one of the most influential jazz singers of the 20th Century, the winner of thirteen Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Art presented by President Ronald Reagan and the Presidential Medal of Freedom presented by President George H. W. Bush. Gifted with a three-octave vocal range, she was noted for her purity of tone, near faultless phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
