Have you seen the well-to-do up and down Park Av - e - nue?
F Fdim C#7 C7 F Fdim C#7 C7
On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air,
A6 Gdim Bm7-5 E7 A6 Gdim Bm7-5 E7
High hats and Arrow collars white spats and lots of dollars,
F#m F#m7 B7 C7 A7-9 A7+5 A7
Spending every dime for a wonderful time.
Dm A7 Dm Gdim Dm A7
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to,
Dm Gdim A7 Bm7-5 A7 Dm F#m Bb9 A7
Why don't you go where fashion sits? Puttin' on the Ritz.
Dm A7 Dm Gdim Dm A7
Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes
Dm Gdim A7 Bm7-5 A7 Dm Bb D7
And cutaway coat, perfect fits, puttin' on the Ritz.
Bridge:
Gm A7 Fdim A7 Dm
Strolling up the av - e - nue so happy,
F Dm7 Gm7 C7 F Bb9 A9
All dressed up just like an English chappie -- very snappy!
Dm A7 Dm Gdim Dm A7
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
Dm Gdim A7 Bm7-5 A7 Dm Bb D7
Or "umber-ellas" in their mitts, puttin' on the Ritz.
Bridge 2:
Gm A7 Fdim A7 Dm
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper,
F Dm7 Gm7 C7 F Bb9 A9
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Dm A7 Dm Gdim Dm A7
You'll declare it's simply topping to be there
Dm Gdim A7 Bm7-5 A7
And hear them swapping smart tid - bits --
Dm Bb9 A7-9
Puttin' on the Ritz,
A9 Dm Bb9 A7-9 A9 Dm Gm6 D6/9
Puttin' on the Ritz, puttin' on the Ritz!
