Lyrics Irving Berlin

Irving Berlin

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, 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 a ragtime

Come on and hear, come on and hear, Alexander's ragtime band

Come on and hear, come on and hear, Alexander's modern band

Come on and hear, come on and hear, it's the best band in the land

They can boo be doo ye, doo de doo de, doo yen doo de

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 cool time

Or if you want to hear the Swanee River played in a ragtime

Come on and hear, come on and hear, Alexander's ragtime band

Be doo den doo be, de de doo be, doo ben doo, Alexander's ragtime band
