fred astaire - puttin' on the ritz (1930) lyrics
[verse 1]
have you seen the well+to+do
upon lenox avenue
on that famous thoroughfare
with their noses in the air?
high hats and coloured collars
white spats and fifteen dollars
spending every dime
for a wonderful time
[chorus]
if 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 ritz
that’s where each and every lulu+belle goes
every thursday evеning with their swell beaus
rubbing еlbows
[chorus]
come with me and we’ll attend their jubilee
and see them spend their last two bits
putting on the ritz
(boy, look at that man putting on that ritz)
(you look at him, i can’t)
[chorus]
if 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 that certain ritz
that’s where each and every lulu+belle goes
every thursday evening with their swell beaus
rubbing elbows
come with me and we’ll attend their jubilee
and see them spend their last two bits
putting on the ritz
[outro]
come with me and we’ll attend their jubilee
and see them spend their last two bits
putting on the ritz
