part 1 Have you see the well to do up and down Park Avenue On that famous thoroughfare, with their noses in the air. Soft drum beat and trumpets in the background

A If you’re blue and you don’t where to go to why don’t you go where fashion sits? Puttin’ on the Ritz Repeated ascending melody ends with the name of the song

0:58 B Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper. Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper Super-duper Bridge goes higher than the previous melody is more flowing and less syncopated
