Check the lyrics:
Have you seen the well-to-do Up on Lennox Avenue On that famous thoroughfare With their noses in the air
High hats and Arrow collars White spats and fifteen 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 Harlem flits Puttin' on the Ritz Spangled Gowns upon the bevy of High browns from down the levy All misfits Puttin' on the Ritz
That's where each and every lulu-belle goes Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus Rubbin' elbows
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee And see them spend Their last two bits Puttin' on the Ritz
If you're blue And you don't know where to go to Why don't you go where Harlem flits Puttin' on the Ritz Spangled Gowns upon the bevy of High browns from down the levy All misfits Puttin' on that certain Ritz
That's where each and every lulu-belle goes Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus Rubbin' elbows
Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee And see them spend Their last two bits Puttin' on the Ritz
