Puttin' On The Ritz is a song written by Irving Berlin in 1927. The title derives from the slang expression "to put on the Ritz", meaning to dress very fashionably. The song was very popular after it was recorded by Fred Astaire in 1930.

If you're blue
And you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a daycoat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat
Perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper
Come, let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or umberellas
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
