And there was distant music
Skipping a beat
Singing a dream (la la la la la)
A strange insistent music
Putting out heat
Picking up steam (la la la la la)
The sound of distant thunder
Suddenly starting to climb
It was the music of
Something beginning
An era exploding
A century spinning
In riches and rags and in
Rhythm and rhyme
The people called it ragtime
Ragtime
Ragtime (ragtime)
Ragtime (ragtime, ragtime)
