Puttin' On the Ritz

Understated, that's the way we put on the Ritz in country towns. Flashing bellies, no no no. We do the Ritz in our own way. It's glamorous, for sure in country towns - but open wallets, no no no... Not the way at all. Our girls have stick-on hair, but not the blue type, no no no. They dance and sing the whole night long, but it's the Ritz sans raz-MA-taz. For sure, they leave their ma's at home, for they don't - no no no. The ma's watch Fred Astaire instead, and do a jig before their bed. --------------------------------------------------- 8/9/2015 "Razzmatazz" has two groups of "z", but I put them as one each time, as it gives it too heavy a tone otherwise. Contest - Puttin' on the Ritz Sponsor - Judy Konos 1st place win
