Puttin' on the Ritz Songtext

von Judy Garland

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Puttin' on the Ritz" ist ein Song von Judy Garland, der die Welt der Reichen und Schönen in der Park Avenue beschreibt....

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 arrowed collars, wide spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime for a wonderful time

If you're blue and you don' know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits ? Putting on The Ritz
Different types who wear a day, co-pants with stripes
And cut away coat, perfect fits, putting on The Ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper, super duper
Come, let's mix where rocker fellas walk with sticks
Or umbrellas in their mitts, putting on The Ritz

Spangled gowns upon a beauty of hand-me-downs
On clown and cutie, all misfits putting on The Ritz
Tips his hat just like an English chappie
To a lady with the wealthy happy, very snappy

You'll declare it's simply topping to be there
And hear them swapping smart tidbits
Putting on The Ritz, putting on The Ritz
Putting on The Ritz
