Up and down Park Avenue
 On that famous thoroughfare
 With their noses in the air

 High hats and narrow 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
 Different types who wear a daycoat
 Pants with stripes and cutaway coat
 Perfect fits
 Puttin' on the Ritz

 Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
 Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
 Super-duper

 Come, let's mix where Rockefellers
 Walk with sticks or "umberellas"
 In their mitts
 Puttin' on the Ritz

 ------ short instrumental break ------

 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
