words and music by Irving Berlin

Lyrics

1. Oh, ma honey, Oh, ma honey, better hurry and let's meander
Ain't you goin', Ain't you goin', to the leader man, ragged meter man?
Oh, ma honey, Oh, ma honey, let me take you to Alexander's
Grand stand, 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 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, 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, come on and hear, Alexander's ragtime band

2. Oh, ma honey, Oh, ma honey, there's a fiddle with notes that screetches
Like a chicken, Like a chicken, and the clarinet is a colored pet
Come and listen, Come and listen, to a classical band what's peaches
Come now, somehow, Better hurry along
