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

Irving Berlin (11 May 1888 – 22 September 1989), born Israel Isidore Baline, in Tyumen, Russia (according to other sources possibly Mogilev, now Belarus), was an American composer and lyricist. He was one of the most prodigious and famous American songwriters in history. Berlin, who was Jewish, was one of the few Tin Pan Alley/Broadway songwriters who wrote both lyrics and music for his songs. Although he never learned to read music beyond a rudimentary level, he composed over 3,000 songs.
