Puttin' On The Ritz

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!
