Where's that music coming from
Listen to that rum tum tum,
Come a little nearer
now it's getting clearer
ain't they playin' some
that's what I call music sweet
puts the tickle in your feet.
I know from the metre
there's a certain leader
comin' down the street:

Here comes Ragtime Alexander
Dixies famous band commander
no more worry
no more blues
ev'rybody run along
and get your dancin' shoes.
When it comes to syncopation
that's the best band in creation,
Oh boy what a time
'cross the Mason Dixon line
Alexander's Band
is back in Dixieland.

Here comes Ragtime Alexander
Dixies famous band commander
no more worry
no more blues
ev'rybody run along
and get your dancin' shoes.
When it comes to syncopation
that's the best band in creation,
Oh boy what a time
'cross the Mason Dixon line
Alexander's Band
is back in Dixieland.

Now we'll have some harmonies
floatin' on the evenin' breeze,
when the steam boat loaders
and the cotton toters
start their jubilees.
I'll be down to ev'ry one
Just as quick as I can run,
With my lovin' baby
let me tell you maybe
I won't have some fun:

Here comes Ragtime Alexander
Dixies famous band commander
no more worry
no more blues
ev'rybody run along
and get your dancin' shoes.
When it comes to syncopation
that's the best band in creation,
Oh boy what a time
'cross the Mason Dixon line
Alexander's Band
is back in Dixieland.

Here comes Ragtime Alexander
Dixies famous band commander
no more worry
no more blues
ev'rybody run along
and get your dancin' shoes.
When it comes to syncopation
that's the best band in creation,
Oh boy what a time
'cross the Mason Dixon line
Alexander's Band
is back in Dixieland.
