ARTIST: Irving Berlin TITLE: Putting On the Ritz [There are a number of differing versions of this song; I've picked one at random.] 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 Diff'rent 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 "um-ber-ellas" in their mitts Puttin' on the ritz Strolling up the avenue so happy All dressed up just like an English chappie Very snappy You'll declare it's simply "top-thing" to be there And hear them swapping smart tidbits Puttin' on the ritz da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da ditz da-da da da Hitz 11 7 *itz 4 Hitz 10 9 *ooper Super duper 10 9 *appie very snappy bits its kits fits mitts nits pits grits quits ritz sits tits tidbits wits zits noc coc block stock when guy harris quits comiseratnig with hitz and filling buckets full of bits hardware guys designing attach kits him until he quits prog-er-ammers who still have their zits PUTTING UP WITH HITZ PUTTIN ON DAVE HITZ FOOLing DAVE HITZ attach kits Coc noc stock.txt
