In Georgia's sunny clime
they have a funny time,
on a certain date
the folks all celebrate in ragtime.
The little things they do
are bound to tickle you
come along with me
you'll be as happy as can be.

At that old plantation ball
that's the greatest place of all
folks down there don't care for style
all you have to do is simply
wear a smile,
you'll enjoy the music sweet
of those chaffing shuffling feet,
come along with me
and don't you dare to balk,
listen to that chatter and the funny talk,
watch 'em while they're steppin'
to the pigeon walk
at the old plantation ball.

At that old plantation ball
that's the greatest place of all
folks down there don't care for style
all you have to do is simply
wear a smile,
you'll enjoy the music sweet
of those chaffing shuffling feet,
come along with me
and don't you dare to balk,
listen to that chatter and the funny talk,
watch 'em while they're steppin'
to the pigeon walk
at the old plantation ball.

The little tunes they play
will make you want to stay
no one even goes
until the rooster crows,
Dawg gone it,
and when they sing a song,
the birds just sing along
I know this is true
you're goin' to want to join 'em too.

At that old plantation ball
that's the greatest place of all
folks down there don't care for style
all you have to do is simply
wear a smile,
you'll enjoy the music sweet
of those chaffing shuffling feet,
come along with me
and don't you dare to balk,
listen to that chatter and the funny talk,
watch 'em while they're steppin'
to the pigeon walk
at the old plantation ball.

At that old plantation ball
that's the greatest place of all
folks down there don't care for style
all you have to do is simply
wear a smile,
you'll enjoy the music sweet
of those chaffing shuffling feet,
come along with me
and don't you dare to balk,
listen to that chatter and the funny talk,
watch 'em while they're steppin'
to the pigeon walk
at the old plantation ball.
