From the Broadway musical "Puttin' On The Ritz" Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin 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. If you're blue and you don't know where to go to, Why don't you go where Harlem glitz - Puttin' on the Ritz! Spangled gowns Upon the bevy of high browns from down the levee, all misfits - Puttin' on the Ritz! That's where each and every Lulu Belle goes, Ev'ry Thursday evening 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!
