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
Like 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 want to hear the Swanee River playеd in ragtime
Come on and hear, comе on and hear
Alexander's ragtime band!
