lyrics

Bei Mir Bist Du Schön:

Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me

You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me

Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "bella, bella", even "sehr wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say you understand


I could say "bella, bella", even "sehr wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say you understand


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 of wear a day coat, 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 umbrellas in their mitts
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 of wear a day coat, 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 umbrellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the ritz
Puttin' on the ritz,
Puttin' on the ritz
