Talk about singin' rag time
that cert'nly is my game,
They call me Weary Raggles
though Raglin is my name.
I'm singin' all the morning
and all the afternoon,
And when it's time to go to bed
I'm hummin' a rag time tune,
with out a rag time song I'm lonely,
and never satisfied
until I've got
a swell rag time piano player by my side.

Just give me Rag, Rag, Rag time
I'm always happy
when I'm singin' rag time,
I like a rag time dancer,
I like a rag time prancer,
Just give me Rag, Rag, Rag time
and I will always be first in line,
For you can never lose this ragged coon
on Rag, Rag Rag.

Just give me Rag, Rag, Rag time
I'm always happy
when I'm singin' rag time,
I like a rag time dancer,
I like a rag time prancer,
Just give me Rag, Rag, Rag time
and I will always be first in line,
For you can never lose this ragged coon
on Rag, Rag Rag.

Last night I was invited
to a swell society ball,
T'was given by the best of people
and held in society hall.
Well in between the dances
they had some vaudeville,
A man sang "The Holy City"
and greatly showed his skill
well then the master of ceremonies
then called on this here coon
and you ought to see that audience
when I sang that rag time tune.

Just give me Rag, Rag, Rag time
I'm always happy
when I'm singin' rag time,
I like a rag time dancer,
I like a rag time prancer,
Just give me Rag, Rag, Rag time
and I will always be first in line,
For you can never lose this ragged coon
on Rag, Rag Rag.

Just give me Rag, Rag, Rag time
I'm always happy
when I'm singin' rag time,
I like a rag time dancer,
I like a rag time prancer,
Just give me Rag, Rag, Rag time
and I will always be first in line,
For you can never lose this ragged coon
on Rag, Rag Rag.
