Lyrics
When you're heading uptown
Closing the clubs down
And you're not ready to quit
Loosen up your collar and bowtie
Outta my way I...
Gotta get some "Grits from the Ritz"
If you want a gourmet
Treat that's delightful
Don't go completely to bits
When it comes to the morning after
A night of laughter
Gotta get those "Grits from the Ritz"
Serve them with pancakes
Frenchmen call them crepes
Boil them up and butter them
That's just what it takes
If you want a gourmet
Treat that's delightful
Don't go completely to bits
When it comes to the morning after
A night of laughter
Gotta get those "Grits from the Ritz"
