Puttin´ on The Ritz

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up on Lennox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and coloured collars
White spats and fifteen dollars
Spending ev’ry dime
For a wonderful time
If you’re blue and
You don’t know where to go to
Why don’t you go where Harlem sits
Spangled gowns upon the bevee of high browns
From down the levee
All misfits
That’s where each and ev’ry Lulu-Belle goes
Ev’ry Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we’ll attend
Their jubilee, and see them spend
Their last two bits
If you’re blue and
You don’t know where to go to
Why don’t you go where Harlem sits
Spangled gowns upon the bevee of high browns
From down the levee
All misfits
That’s where each and ev’ry Lulu-Belle goes
Ev’ry Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
Come with me and we’ll attend
Their jubilee, and see them spend
Their last two bits
That’s where each and ev’ry Lulu-Belle goes
Ev’ry Thursday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbing elbows
