Irving Berlin
Alexander’s Ragtime Band
[Verse 1]
Oh, my honey, oh, my honey, you better hurry and let's go down and
Ain't you goin'? Ain't you goin' to that leaderman, got a meter, man?
Oh, honey, oh, honey, Let me take you to Alexander's
Grandstand brass band, ain't you comin' along?

[Chorus]
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 world
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, up to the man, who's 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
Alexander's ragtime band

[Outro]
Come on and hear, come on and hear
Alexander's ragtime band
