Lyrics

[00:10] Have you seen the well to do
[00:13] Up on Lenox Avenue
[00:17] With their noses in the air
[00:19] High hats and arrowed collars
[00:21] White spats and fifteen dollars
[00:23] Spending every dime
[00:25] On a wonderful time
[00:27] If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
[00:30] Why don't you go where Harlem sits
[00:34] Puttin' on the ritz
[00:37] Spangled gowns upon a bevy of high browns
[00:39] From down the levee all misfits
[00:42] Puttin' on the ritz
[00:45] That's where each and ev'ry Lulu Bell goes
[00:50] Ev'ry Thursday ev'ning with her swell beaus
[00:54] Rubbing elbows
[00:55] Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
[00:57] And see them spend their last two bits
[01:00] Puttin' on the ritz
[01:39] If your blue and you don't know where to go to
[01:42] Why don't you go where Harlem sits
[01:45] Puttin' on the ritz
[01:47] Spangled gowns upon a bevy of high browns
[01:50] From down the levee all misfits
[01:54] Puttin' on the ritz
[01:57] That's where each and ev'ry Lulu Bell goes
[02:01] Ev'ry Thursday ev'ning with her swell beaus
[02:05] Rubbing elbows
[02:06] Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
[02:08] And see them spend their last two bits
[02:12] Puttin' on the ritz
[02:23] Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
[02:26] And see them spend their last two bits
[02:30] Puttin' on the ritz
