Alexander's Ragtime Band



Oh, ma honey, oh, ma honey, Better hurry and let's meander Ain't you goin', ain't you goin', To the leader man, ragged meter man? Oh, ma honey, oh, ma honey Let me take you to Alexander's Grand stand, brass band, Ain't you comin' along?

Come on and hear, Come on and hear, Alexander's Ragtime Band, Come on and hear, Come on and hear, It's the best band in the land, They can play a bugle call Like you never heard before, So natural that you want to go to war. That's just the bestest band that am, Honey Lamb!

Come on along, Come on along, Let me take you by the hand Up to the man, Up to the man, Who's the leader of the band, And if you want to hear The Swanee River played in ragtime, Come on and hear, Come on and hear, Alexander's Ragtime Band.

Oh, ma honey, oh, ma honey There's a fiddle with notes that screeches, Like a chicken, like a chicken And the clarinet, is a colored pet, Come and listen, come and listen To a classical band what's peaches, Come now, some how, Better hurry along.

Come on and hear, etc.
