Puttin On The Ritz - Rufus Wainwright

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 trooper

Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)

Come let’s mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks or um-ber-ellas 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

Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper

Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)

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

Puttin' on the Ritz

(Down-town, up-town, get your kicks at the Ritz)

(Dine 'n' wine, but not 'til nine, the time is right for us to tonight)

(We can move, move to the rhythm, you can)

(Move…dance to the rhythm, nice and easy)

(I wantcha to move)

(Puttin' it on, puttin' it on, puttin' it on, puttin' it on the R — I -T — Z,

how 'bout you and me, says)

(Gotta dance…) (Gotta dance)

(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…)
