Alexander's Ragtime Band

Oh my honey, oh my honey
Better hurry and let me and a
Ain't you goin', ain't you goin'
To the leader man, ragged meter man
Oh my honey, oh my honey
Let me take you to Alexander's grandstand
The 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 what am, oh honey lamb!

Come on along, come on along
Let me take you by the hand
Up to the man, the funny man
Who's the leader of the band
And if you care to hear the Swanee River
Played in ragtime
Come on and hear, come on and hear
Alexander's Ragtime Band!

Oh my honey, oh my honey
There's a fiddle with notes that screeches
Just like a chicken, like a chicken
And a clarinet is a colored pet
Come on and listen, come on and listen
To a classical band what speeches
Come now somehow, better hurry 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 what am, oh honey lamb!

Come on along, come on along
Let me take you by the hand
Up to the man, the funny man
Who's the leader of the band
And if you care to hear the Swanee River
Played in ragtime
Come on and hear, come on and hear
Alexander's Ragtime Band!

They can play a bugle call like you never heard before
Ain't that just the bestest band what am, oh honey lamb!
Come on and hear, come on and hear
Alexander's Ragtime Band!
