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 best-est 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
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-ba-doo-da-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
That's just the best-est 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 wanna hear
The Swanee River played in the ragtime
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Alexander's ragtime band
Alexander's ragtime band
