"Alexander's Ragtime Band" lyrics

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 what am
My little 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

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
My honey honey 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
