Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Different types, who wear a day
Co-pants with stripes, and cut away
Coat, perfect fits
Puttin' on the ritz
[Verse 3]
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper
A super-duper
[Verse 4]
Come, let's mix where Rockerfellas
Walk with sticks or umbrellas
In their mitts
Putting on the ritz
[Verse 5]
If you're blue and you don't know
Where to go to, why don't you go
Where fashion sits?
A-puttin' on the ritz
[Verse 6]
Hey, dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper
[Verse 7]
Come, let's mix where Rockerfellas
Walk with sticks or umbrellas
In their mitts
Puttin' on the ritz
Puttin' on the ritz
Putting on the ritz
The ritz
