[Intro]
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lenox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air?
High hats, colored collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
[Verse 1]
If you're blue and you don't know
Where to go to, why don't you go
Where Harlem sits
Puttin' on the Ritz?
[Verse 2]
Spangled gowns upon the bevy
Of high browns from down the levee
All misfits
Puttin' on the Ritz
[Chorus]
That's where each and every Lulu-Belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lenox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air?
High hats, colored collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
[Verse 1]
If you're blue and you don't know
Where to go to, why don't you go
Where Harlem sits
Puttin' on the Ritz?
[Verse 2]
Spangled gowns upon the bevy
Of high browns from down the levee
All misfits
Puttin' on the Ritz
[Chorus]
That's where each and every Lulu-Belle goes
Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
