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   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
