Oh ma honey, oh ma honey,

Better hurry and let's meander.

To the leader man, ragged meter man?

Oh ma honey, oh ma honey,

Ain't you comin' along?
C
Come on and hear, come on and hear
G7 C C7
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

That is the bestest band what am, my honey lamb
C
Come on a-long, come on along

Up to the man, up to the man
who’s the leader of the band

And if you care to hear the Swanee River

Come on and hear, come on and hear
G7 C
Alex-ander’s Ragtime Band.
G
Oh ma honey, oh ma honey,
C D7
There's a fiddle with notes that screeches.
G
Like a chicken, like a chicken.
A7 D7
And the clarinet, is a coloured pet.
G
Come and listen, come and listen,
C D7
To a classical band what's peaches.
G G7 C7 A7
Come now, somehow,
D7 G
Better hurry along!
