Mandolins, violins,
hear the darkies tunin' up,
the fun begins,
come this way,
don't delay,
better hurry, honey dear,
or you'll be missin'
Music sweet,
ragtime treat,
goes right to your head
and trickles to your feet,
it's a reminder,
a memory finder
of nights down in old Alabam!

You ought to see Deacon Jones
when he rattles the bones,
Old Parson Brown
foolin' 'roun like a clown,
Aunt Jemima who is past eighty three,
shoutin': "I'm full o' pep!
Watch yo' step watch yo' step!"
One legged Joe
danced aroun' on his toe,
threw away his crutch
and hollered: "Let 'er go!"
Oh, honey, Hail! Hail!
the gang's all here
for an Alabama Jubilee.

You ought to see Deacon Jones

Old Parson Brown
foolin' 'roun like a clown,

One legged Joe
danced aroun' on his toe,
threw away his crutch
and hollered: "Let 'er go!"
Oh, honey, Hail! Hail!

for an Alabama Jubilee.

Hear that flute,
it's a beaut,
and the tunes it's tootin', tootsie,
ain't they cute?
Let's begin,
it's a sin
to be missin'
all this syncopated music!
Oh, you Jane,
once again
give your legs some exercise
to that refrain.
Boy, that's what makes me so dreamy
and takes me back home to my old Alabam!

You ought to see Deacon Jones
when he rattles the bones,
Old Parson Brown
foolin' 'roun like a clown,
Aunt Jemima who is past eighty three,
shoutin': "I'm full o' pep!
Watch yo' step watch yo' step!"

danced aroun' on his toe,
threw away his crutch
and hollered: "Let 'er go!"
