The day is breaking
the folks are waking
my feet are shaking
my heart is aching
just to join that gala day throng,
it's a jolly day
it's a holiday,
the sea is risin'
on the horizon
just hear that singin'
just hear the ringin'
all the church bells
raggin' grand,
it's a holiday in Dixieland.

Join that holiday crowd,
hear that band playin' loud,
see that raggy leader a leadin' the band,
Come on! Come on!
Come on and join the chorus,
see those darkies buck and wingin'
Oh can't you understand,
that I've just got my pay
Oh! you, Hip Hip Hurrah!
It's a holiday in Dixieland!

Join that holiday crowd,
hear that band playin' loud,
see that raggy leader a leadin' the band,
Come on! Come on!
Come on and join the chorus,
see those darkies buck and wingin'
Oh can't you understand,
that I've just got my pay
Oh! you, Hip Hip Hurrah!
It's a holiday in Dixieland!

Oh Halleluja
here comes my Julia
we'll soon be meeting
and soon be greeting
ev'rybody we ever knew,
Dear old Mammy Lou
dear old daddy too,
that band's a playin'
the mules a brayin'
the folks are dancin'
the darkies prancin'
start those church bells
raggin' grand,
it's a holiday in Dixieland.

Join that holiday crowd,
hear that band playin' loud,
see that raggy leader a leadin' the band,
Come on! Come on!
Come on and join the chorus,
see those darkies buck and wingin'
Oh can't you understand,
that I've just got my pay
Oh! you, Hip Hip Hurrah!
It's a holiday in Dixieland!

Join that holiday crowd,
hear that band playin' loud,
see that raggy leader a leadin' the band,
Come on! Come on!
Come on and join the chorus,
see those darkies buck and wingin'
Oh can't you understand,
that I've just got my pay
Oh! you, Hip Hip Hurrah!
It's a holiday in Dixieland!
