Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, my honey
Oh, my honey
You better hurry and let's go down there
[Verse 2]
Ain't you goin'?
Ain't you goin'
To that leader man, ragged meter man?
[Verse 3]
Oh, honey
Oh, honey
Let me take you to Alexander's
Grandstand brass-band
Ain't you coming along?
[Verse 4]
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Alexander's rag-time band
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
It's the best band in the land
[Verse 5]
They can play the bugle-call
Like you never heard before
Sounds so natural that you'll wanna go to war
That's just the best band in the land
Oh, honey lamb
[Verse 6]
Come on along
Come on along
Let me take you by the hand
Up to the man
Up to the man
Who is the leader of the band
[Verse 7]
And if you care to hear the Swanee River
Played in rag-time
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Alexander's rag-time band
[Verse 8]
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Alexander's rag-time band
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
It's the best band in the land
[Verse 9]
Listen to the bugle-call
Yes, the best band in the land
Oh, honey lamb
[Verse 10]
Come on along
Come on along
Let me take you by the hand
Up to the man
Up to the man
Who is the leader of the band
[Verse 11]
And if you care to hear the Swanee River
Played in rag-time
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Alexander's rag-time band
