Clark Gable Putting on the Ritz (1939)

Текст песни "Clark Gable — Putting on the Ritz (1939)"

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 collar
white spats and 15 dollars
Spending ev'ry 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 sits
Putting on the Ritz

Spangled gowns upon the bevee of high browns
from down the levee, all misfits
Putting on the Ritz.

That's where each and ev'ry Lulu-belle goes.
Ev'ry Thursday evening with her swell beaus
rubbing elbows

Come with me and we'll attend the jubilee
and see them spend their last two bits
Putting on the Ritz.
