Lyrics

Have you seen the well to do up and down Park Av e nue?

On that fa mous thor ough fare with their nos es in the air, high hats and Ar row col lars, white spats and lots of dol lars, spend ing ev ’ry dime

for a won der ful time.

If you’re blue and you don’t know where to go to, why don’t you go where fash ion sits,

put tin’ on the Ritz?

Diff ’rent types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes and cut a way coat, per fect fits,

put tin’ on the Ritz.

Stroll ing up the av e nue so hap py.

All dressed up just like an Eng lish chap pie, ver y snap py.

Come, let’s mix where Rock e fel lers walk with sticks or “um ber el las” in their mitts,

put tin’ on the Ritz.

If you’re blue and you don’t know where to go to, why don’t you go where fash ion sits,

put tin’ on the Ritz?

Diff ’rent types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes and cut a way coat, per fect fits,

put tin’ on the Ritz.

Dressed up like a mil lion dol lar troup er.

Try ing hard to look like Gar y Coop er, su per du per.

Come, let’s mix where Rock e fel lers walk with sticks or “um ber el las” in their mitts,

put tin’ on the Ritz.
