Crows going, all blowing
about that CakeWalk Jubilee,
Swell ladies some "babies"
ev'ryone was happy as can be:
Some steppers, hot "peppers"
That's Johnson's ragtime band,
the best one in the land.
They win ev'ry prize
they sure harmonize
down at the Jubilee.

At the CakeWalk Jubilee
mingle in society
the band a playing
the dancers swaying:
Chancing, glancing,
prancing, dancing,
That's our one delight:
dancing morning, noon and night.
When the band played
the old tune "My Mariutch"
then all of the crowd
did the "Broadway Mooche"
Some hot time
at that Cakewalk Jubilee.

Cake walking, still talking
about that CakeWalk Jubilee
some yelling, all telling
that it was the greatest sight to see:
News papers print capers
looks mighty good to read,
the "menu" of that "feed"
Porkchops, kidney stew,
chickens, possum too,
down at the Jubilee:
