[Verse]
Come on and hear
Come on and hear Alexander's ragtime band
Come on and hear
Come on and hear 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
It's just the bestest band in the land, honey lamb!

[Verse]
Come on along
Come on along
Let me take you by the hand
To meet the man
To meet the man who's the leader of the band
And if you want to hear that "Swanee River" played in a ragtime
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Come on and hear that Alexander's ragtime band

[Verse]
Come on along
Come on along
Let me take you by the hand
To meet the man
To meet the man who's the leader of the band
And if you want to hear that "Swanee River" played in a ragtime
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Come on and hear that Alexander's ragtime band now
