Ain't It Funny 1912

Won't you listen, honey dear,
there is something wrong, I fear.
I sure am ailin'
my health is failing
and I feel so mighty queer.
When I hear sweet music strains,
why they seem to grip my brain,
My feet go draggin'
I must start raggin'
or else I'd go insane.

Ain't it funny, oh my honey!
That music sets me prancin'
Lead me to it
Let me do it
'cause I could die a dancin'
I must rag it
Wiggle wag it,
no movement so entrancin'
as that crazy, squeezin'
teasin' pleasin' Ragtime.

Ain't it funny, oh my honey!
That music sets me prancin'
Lead me to it
Let me do it
'cause I could die a dancin'
I must rag it
Wiggle wag it,
no movement so entrancin'
as that crazy, squeezin'
teasin' pleasin' Ragtime.

I'll go daffy pretty soon,
'cause morning, night or noon,
My brain is hazy,
my heart goes crazy
when I hear a ragtime tune.
And I never miss no chance
for that ever lovin' prance,
with senses reelin'
it soothes my feelin's
to do that shufflin' dance.

Ain't it funny, oh my honey!
That music sets me prancin'
Lead me to it
Let me do it
'cause I could die a dancin'
I must rag it
Wiggle wag it,
no movement so entrancin'
as that crazy, squeezin'
teasin' pleasin' Ragtime.

Ain't it funny, oh my honey!
That music sets me prancin'
Lead me to it
Let me do it
'cause I could die a dancin'
I must rag it
Wiggle wag it,
no movement so entrancin'
as that crazy, squeezin'
teasin' pleasin' Ragtime.
