Get ready for a journey dear,
we're going far away from here,
San Francisco is our destination,
syncopation is the transportation,
we don't need any choochoo fare,
just music that'll take us there,
Oh! my honey,
get some Tango slippers,
and I'll take you along:

Start it with a Tango and away we go,
guess we'll have to hesitate in Buffalo,
when you reach Chicago, honey, step around,
there'll be some nice refreshments
in Milwaukee town,
now we go to Dixie
where they "Ball the Jack"
do the Mississippi shuffle,
hurry back,
keep on trotting out to Frisco Bay,
while you're dancing 'round the U.S.A.

Start it with a Tango and away we go,
guess we'll have to hesitate in Buffalo,
when you reach Chicago, honey, step around,
there'll be some nice refreshments

where they "Ball the Jack"
do the Mississippi shuffle,
hurry back,
keep on trotting out to Frisco Bay,
while you're dancing 'round the U.S.A.

Oh! Honey, ain't the ridin' fine?
Can't beat that syncopation line,
there the porter is a dance instructor,
and the engineer's a band conductor,
It's just like floating thru the air,
that music takes you anywhere,
Oh! my honey, here's a ragtime special,
better hurry aboard:

Start it with a Tango and away we go,
guess we'll have to hesitate in Buffalo,
when you reach Chicago, honey, step around,
there'll be some nice refreshments
in Milwaukee town,
now we go to Dixie
where they "Ball the Jack"
