Have you seen the well-to-do
Apa kamu sudah lihat orang-orang kaya
Up on Lenox Avenue
Di Lenox Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
Di jalan terkenal itu
With their noses in the air
Dengan sikap angkuh
High hats and arrowed collars
Topi tinggi dan kerah runcing
White spats and fifteen dollars
Sepatu putih dan uang lima belas dolar
Spending every dime
Menghabiskan setiap sen
On a wonderful time
Untuk bersenang-senang

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Kalau kamu sedih dan bingung mau kemana
Why don't you go where Harlem sits
Kenapa tidak pergi ke Harlem saja
Puttin' on the ritz
Menampilkan gaya

Spangled gowns upon a bevy of high browns
Gaun berkilau di antara wanita cantik
From down the levee, all misfits
Dari bawah tanggul, semua yang berbeda
Puttin' on the ritz

That's where each and ev'ry Lulu Bell goes
Di situlah setiap Lulu Bell pergi
Ev'ry Thursday ev'ning with her swell beaus
Setiap Kamis malam dengan pacar-pacarnya yang keren
Rubbing elbows
Bersosialisasi

Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee
Ayo ikut aku, kita akan menghadiri perayaan mereka
And see them spend their last two bits
Dan lihat mereka menghabiskan sisa uang mereka
