Puttin' On the Ritz (Puttin' On the Ritz 1930)
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lennox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air?
High hats and colored collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
If you're blue and
You don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where Harlem sits?
Puttin' on the ritz
Spangled gowns upon the bevee of high browns
From down the levee
All misfits
Puttin' on the ritz
That's where each and every Lulu-Belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we'll attend
Their jubilee, and see them spend

Their last two bits
Puttin' on the ritz
If you're blue and
You don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where Harlem sits?
Mmmm
Puttin' on the ritz
Spangled gowns upon the bevee of high browns
From down the levee
All misfits
And how they're
Puttin' on the ritz
That's where each and every Lulu-Belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we'll attend
Their jubilee, and see them spend
Their last two bits
Just puttin' on the ritz
