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

Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes 
    Dm            Gdim    A7   Bm5-/7 A7                 Dm    A# D7 
And cutaway coat, perfect fits,         puttin' on the Ritz 

Bridge one

Strolling up the avenue so happy 
F           Dm7     Gm7     C7      F          A#9   A9 
All dressed up just like an English chappie very snappy

Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks 
    Dm   Gdim    A7        Bm5-/7 A7                  Dm  Bb D7 
Or 'umber-ellas' in their mitts,    puttin' on the Ritz 

Bridge two 
Gm         A7     Fdim     A7     Dm 
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper 
F      Dm7     Gm7       C7   F        A#9   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      Bm5-/7  A7                 
And hear them swapping smart tidbits   
                Dm     A#9  A7/9- 
Puttin' on the Ritz 
A9             Dm  A#9 A7/9-  A9              Dm Gm6 D6/9 
Puttin' on the Ritz,          puttin' on the Ritz
