Ain't That Some Rag? 1912

Oh Honey dear,
sit right down here,
and listen to that lovin' band
play, play, play that ticklin' tune,
gets you hummin' it soon,
it haunts you night and day.
You can't help moving your feet,
keeping time to each beat,
for that's some soothing melody,
and the longer they play,
why the longer you'll stay,
til you feel like a ship at sea.
Oh...

Ain't that some rag
that band is playing?
It's got my feet,
my body swaying,
listen honey dear,
now did you get that strain?
Lordy how that music creeps
in to my brain,
Oh see that lovin' music master,
he keeps that time
and never faster.
Hear that minor part,
ain't it divine?
[spoken:] Hear them bones start
Lor, but that's fine
[Sung:] cuddle near me
oh you dearie,
Honey, oh ain't that some rag?

Ain't that some rag
that band is playing?
It's got my feet,
my body swaying,
listen honey dear,
now did you get that strain?
Lordy how that music creeps
in to my brain,
Oh see that lovin' music master,
he keeps that time
and never faster.
Hear that minor part,
ain't it divine?
[spoken:] Hear them bones start
Lor, but that's fine
[Sung:] cuddle near me
oh you dearie,
Honey, oh ain't that some rag?

Come let us dance,
come let us prance,
while the band plays
that wonderful tune, tune, tune.
It's so soft and low,
Honey, I love it so.
Makes you feel just like a loon.
Keep on agliding, don't lag,
that's some heavenly drag.
Oh, honey dear,
ain't this some treat?
Now, hold close to my side,
and away we will glide,
don't you hope, dear,
that they will repeat?
Oh...

Ain't that some rag
that band is playing?
It's got my feet,
my body swaying,
listen honey dear,
now did you get that strain?
Lordy how that music creeps
in to my brain,
Oh see that lovin' music master,
he keeps that time
and never faster.
Hear that minor part,
ain't it divine?
[spoken:] Hear them bones start
Lor, but that's fine
[Sung:] cuddle near me
oh you dearie,
Honey, oh ain't that some rag?

Ain't that some rag
that band is playing?
It's got my feet,
my body swaying,
listen honey dear,
now did you get that strain?
Lordy how that music creeps
in to my brain,
Oh see that lovin' music master,
he keeps that time
and never faster.
Hear that minor part,
ain't it divine?
[spoken:] Hear them bones start
Lor, but that's fine
[Sung:] cuddle near me
oh you dearie,
Honey, oh ain't that some rag?
