Puttin' on the Ritz - by Irving Berlin, as sung by Taco

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 day coat, pants with stripes and cutaway coat, perfect fits, Puttin' on the ritz.

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper 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.

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

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. Puttin' on the ritz. Puttin' on the ritz.
