Songtekst - Taco - Putting On The Ritz

Taco - Putting On The Ritz

Dat is nou zo'n nummer waar ik altijd vrolijk van word. Wat een heerlijk nostalgisch gevoel brengt dat met zich mee.
In mijn gedachten zie ik de 'upperclass' die onbekommerd flaneert langs de boulevard, de dames in hun voluptueuze jurken, met hoeden en hun parasolletjes in de hand , de mannen in hun nette tenue, de stok zwierig in de aanslag.
Ik kan niet nalaten het uit volle borst mee te zingen, voor zover dat lukt.....  met al die tong brekende Engelse zinnetjes, en..... ik zou zelfs willen dat ik had leren tapdansen.....
 
 
Taco - Putting On The Ritz

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 day coat,
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat,
perfect fits.
Puttin' on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper,
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or umbrellas
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz

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 day coat,
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat,
perfect fits.
Puttin' on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper,
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or umbrellas
In their mitts
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 Arrowed collars,
white spats and lots of 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 fashion sits?
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a day coat,
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat,
perfect fits.
Puttin' on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper,
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or umbrellas
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper,
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
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
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz
