|
Come on and hear, come on and hear Alexander's Ragtime Band
|
Come on and hear, come on and hear 'bout the best band in the land
|
They can play a bugle call like you never heared before
|
So natural that you wanna 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, up to the 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), come on and hear (come on and hear)
|
Alexander's Ragtime Band!
|
|
Come on and hear (come on and hear), come on and hear (come on and hear)
|
Alexander's Ragtime Band
|
Come on and hear (well here I come), come on and hear (I'm standin' right here)
|
It's the best band in the land
|
They can play a bugle call like you never heared before
|
(whistle)
|
That's just the bestest band what am, oh Honey Lamb
|
|
Come on along (come on along), come on along (come on along)
|
Let me take you by the hand (here's my lilywhites)
|
Up to the man (the mighty man), I'm talkin' 'bout the man
|
Mmm, the leader of the band
|
And if you care to hear that Swanee River played in ragtime
|
Come on and hear (come on and hear), come on and hear (come on and hear)
