Listen boys, what's the noise?
Something 'bout it sounds familiar,
don't that music seem to thrill yer,
Hear that drum, rum, tum, tum,
It's Alexander's RagTime Band,
Come on and hear,
come on and hear,
it's the finest in the land.

Alexander's back from Dixie
with his RagTime Band,
playing all those oldtime tunes,
Pack your ukelele
ship it to Bill Bailey,
Once again we're goin'
to listen to the coons.
Hula maids
with their Yaaka Hula,
Chase them all
back to Honolulu,
ev'ry one start singing,
while your feet are swinging,
Alexander's back from Dixieland!

Alexander's back from Dixie

Pack your ukelele

Hula maids

Chase them all
back to Honolulu,
ev'ry one start singing,
while your feet are swinging,
Alexander's back from Dixieland!

Hear the flute, toot, toot, toot,
When that band starts in a playing
I just want to start a praying,
Full of pep,
keep in step,
when the band starts marching by,
It sounds so sweet,
it can't be beat,
I feel so happy
I could cry.

Alexander's back from Dixie

playing all those oldtime tunes,
Pack your ukelele
ship it to Bill Bailey,
Once again we're goin'
to listen to the coons.

Chase them all

ev'ry one start singing,
while your feet are swinging,

ev'ry one start singing,
while your feet are swinging,
