Puttin' on the Ritz Text

---

FREDERICK:
If you're blue and you
Don't know where to go to
Why don't you go
Where fashion sits...

MONSTER:
Puttin' on the ritz!

FREDERICK:
Different types

Who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes
And cutaway coat
Perfect fits...

MONSTER:
Puttin' on the ritz!

FREDERICK:
Dressed up like a
Million-dollar trouper
Tryin' hard
To look like Gary Cooper

MONSTER:
Super duper!

FREDERICK:
Come let's mix
Where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks
Or "umbrellas"
In their mitts

MONSTER:
Puttin' on the ritz!

INGA:
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue

IGOR:
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air

FREDERICK:
High hats and arrow collars,
White spats and lots of dollars

INGA, IGOR & FREDERICK:
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 the fashion sits...

IGOR:
[Put...Put...Put...Put...]
Puttin' on the ritz!

INGA, IGOR & FREDERICK:
Different types
Who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes
And cutaway coat
They're perfect fits...

IGOR:
[Ha Cha...Cha Cha...Cha]
Puttin' on the ritz!

INGA, IGOR & FREDERICK:
[Take it!]

MONSTER:
[Bah da da dum bah
Bah da da da dum
Wah wah wah
Wah bah da
Bodily da dum
Bodily dadum
Be doo be
Doo wah]

INGA, IGOR & FREDERICK:
[Yeah!]

MONSTER:
Super duper!

INGA, IGOR & FREDERICK:
Come let's mix
Where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks
Or "umbrellas"
In their mitts

[Dance Break]

MONSTER:
Puttin' on the ritz!

FREDERICK:
Puttin' on the ritz!

INGA & IGOR:
Puttin' on the ritz!

[Dance Break]

MONSTER:
Puttin' on the ritz!
Puttin' on the ritz!

MONSTER:
Puttin' on the ritz!
