LYRICS:
Verse:
Have you seen the well-to-do up on Lenox 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.
Chorus:
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 a bevy of high browns,
From down the levee, all misfits, Puttin' on the Ritz!
That's where each and every Lulu Bell goes,
Ev'ry Thursday ev'ning with her swell beaus, rubbin' elbows.
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
And see them spend their last two bits, Puttin' on the Ritz!
