Puttin’ on the Ritz (1952 version) - Fred Astaire & Oscar Peterson (lyrics by Irving Berlin)

Puttin’ on the Ritz, puttin’ on the Ritz

Puttin’ on the Ritz, puttin’ on the Ritz

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

Now 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

Diff’rent types of wear a day coat

Pants with stripes and cutaway coat

Perfect fits, puttin’ on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper

Tryin’ 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

(Instrumental)

Now 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

Diff’rent types of wear a day coat

Pants with stripes and cutaway coat

Perfect fits, puttin’ on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper

Tryin’ mighty hard to look like Super Duper

Mister Cooper

Come let’s mix, where Rockefellers

Walk with sticks or Umbrellas

In their mitts, puttin’ on the Ritz

Puttin’ on the Ritz, puttin’ on the Ritz

Puttin’ on the Ritz, puttin’ on the Ritz

Puttin’ on the Ritz
