Have you heard
about the swell reception?
It will be the best
without exception,
and it's given by
the musical people in town.
from all around.
You and I received an invitation
to be present at the big sensation
can't you see my honey
how happy we'll be,
just you and me.
Let me take you to that ball,
in the beautiful harmony hall.

Come, come,
come to the beautiful ragtime ball,
I'm ready, I'm ready, can't you see?
Lead me to that wonderful harmony.
Dance, dance,
dance in the wonderful ragtime hall.
When we're thirsty let us stroll
over to the old punch bowl,
how refreshing.
Oh, Oh, that syncopation is divine,
play it again,
play it again,
play it again,
Oh, Oh,
that hesitation is sublime,
do it again, do it again, do it again,
We'll hear a funny singer
sing a funny little song,
we'll have the finest dinner,
bring your apppetite along,
Come, come
come to the beautiful ragtime ball.

Come, come,
come to the beautiful ragtime ball,
I'm ready, I'm ready, can't you see?
Lead me to that wonderful harmony.
Dance, dance,
dance in the wonderful ragtime hall.
When we're thirsty let us stroll
over to the old punch bowl,
how refreshing.
Oh, Oh, that syncopation is divine,
play it again,
play it again,
play it again,
Oh, Oh,
that hesitation is sublime,
do it again, do it again, do it again,
We'll hear a funny singer
sing a funny little song,
we'll have the finest dinner,
bring your apppetite along,
Come, come
come to the beautiful ragtime ball.

We will dance the latest hesitation,
we will do a dance of ev'ry nation,
then we'll tango and go gliding
all over the floor
and shout for more.
When the band begins to play a twostep
I will show you how to do some new step,
Mister Vernon Castle is jealous of me,
that's what he be.
If they let the music play,
we will dance
till the break of the day.

Come, come,
come to the beautiful ragtime ball,
I'm ready, I'm ready, can't you see?
Lead me to that wonderful harmony.
Dance, dance,
dance in the wonderful ragtime hall.
When we're thirsty let us stroll
over to the old punch bowl,
how refreshing.
Oh, Oh, that syncopation is divine,
play it again,
play it again,
play it again,
Oh, Oh,
that hesitation is sublime,
do it again, do it again, do it again,
We'll hear a funny singer
sing a funny little song,
we'll have the finest dinner,
bring your apppetite along,
Come, come
come to the beautiful ragtime ball.

Come, come,
come to the beautiful ragtime ball,
I'm ready, I'm ready, can't you see?
Lead me to that wonderful harmony.
Dance, dance,
dance in the wonderful ragtime hall.
When we're thirsty let us stroll
over to the old punch bowl,
how refreshing.
Oh, Oh, that syncopation is divine,
play it again,
play it again,
play it again,
Oh, Oh,
that hesitation is sublime,
do it again, do it again, do it again,
We'll hear a funny singer
sing a funny little song,
we'll have the finest dinner,
bring your apppetite along,
Come, come
come to the beautiful ragtime ball.
