Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Alexander's ragtime band
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
About the best band in the land
They can play a bugle call like you never heard before
So natural that you'll 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 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
About the best band in the land
They can play a bugle call like you've never heard before
That's just the bestest band what am
Oh my 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

Alexander's Ragtime Band
