Alexander's Ragtime Band

Oh, ma honey, Oh, ma honey,
Better hurry and lets meander,
Ain't you going, Ain't you going,
To the leader man, Ragged meter man?
Oh, ma honey, Oh, ma honey,
Let me take you to
Alexander's grandstand brass band,
Ain't you coming 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 care 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 coloured pet.
Come and listen, Come and listen,
To a classical band what's peaches,
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 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 care to hear,
The Swanee River played in ragtime.
Come on and hear. Come on and hear,
Alexander's ragtime band.
