Fred Astaire - Puttin` On The Ritz

Have you seen the well to do, up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare, with their noses in the air
High hats and Arrow collars, white spats and lots of 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 fashion sits
Puttin' on the ritz
Different types who wear a daycoat, pants with stripes
And cut away coat, perfect fits
Puttin' on the ritz
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper super duper
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
Or umbrellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz

Tips his hat just like an English chappie
To a lady with a wealthy pappy very snappy
You'll declare it's simply topping to be there
And hear them swapping smart tidbits
Puttin' on the ritz
