Serenade To An Old-fashioned Girl

A night in June, a silv'ry moon

A falling star, a steel guitar

A plaintive tune

A love-sick boy, a heart a-whirl

A serenade to an old-fashioned girl

A perfect dream, a matchless pearl

A serenade to an old-fashioned girl

A lovely date, a half-drawn shade

A serenade to an old-fashioned girl

"Puttin' on the Ritz"

Have you seen the well-to-do

Up and down Park Avenue

On that famous thoroughfare

With their noses in the air

High hats and narrow collars

White spats and lots of dollars

Spending every dime

For a wonderful time

Now, 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

------ short instrumental break ------

Tips his hat just like an English chappie

To a lady with a wealthy pappy

Very snappy

You'll declare it's simply topping

To be there and hear them swapping

Smart tidbits

Puttin' on the Ritz

"I'll See You in C-U-B-A"

[1st verse:]

Not so far from here

There's a very lively atmosphere

Ev'rybody's going there this year

And there's a reason

The season opened last July

Ever since the U.S.A went dry

Ev'rybody's going there and I'm going, too

I'm on my way to

[chorus:]

Cuba there's where I'm going

Cuba there's where I'll stay

Cuba where wine is flowing

And where dark-eyed Stellas

Light their fellers' panatellas

where all is happy

Cuba where all is gay

Why don't you plan a

Wonderful trip

To Havana

Hop on a ship

And I'll see you in C.U.B.A.

[2nd verse:]

Take a friend's advice

Drinking in a cellar isn't nice

Anybody who has got the price

Should be a Cuban

Have you been longing for the 'smile'

That you haven't had for quite a while?

If you have, then follow me and I'll show the way

I'm on my way to
