Singin' The Blues
Bix Beiderbecke
3:01Have you seen the well-to-do Up on Lenox Avenue On that famous thoroughfare With their noses in the air? High hats and colored 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 sits 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 Rubbing 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 sits 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 Rubbing elbows Come with me and we'll attend Their jubilee and see them spend Their last two bits Puttin' on the Ritz
