Oh, Oh, what do I hear?
Soulful syncopation stealing into my ear!
Oh, Oh, Isn't it dear?
Haven't heard your equals
not in many a year.
Oh, Oh, there's something new,
Honest let me tell you
you're a classical crew,
talk about your musikers,
I've heard a few
but my hat's off to you.

Listen to that orchestra rag,
it's a beaut,
there's the flute,
roottetoottetoottetoot
Listen to that man in the middle
with his titiddle on his fifiddle,
Lordy! Listen to my pet clarinet
hear that trombone's soulful drag,
Rumtetum, there's the drum
Lordy man it's going some,
Doggone, hear that Orchestra Rag!

Listen to that orchestra rag,
it's a beaut,
there's the flute,
roottetoottetoottetoot
Listen to that man in the middle
with his titiddle on his fifiddle,
Lordy! Listen to my pet clarinet
hear that trombone's soulful drag,
Rumtetum, there's the drum
Lordy man it's going some,
Doggone, hear that Orchestra Rag!

Oh, Oh, go on repeat!
Got a creepy feeling from my head to my feet.
Oh, Oh, Isn't that sweet?
Honest Mister Leader you're a musical treat.
Oh, Oh, that's harmony,
that's the strain that's buzzin'
in my brain like a bee,
you have got them instruments
down to a "T"
play that last tune for me.

Listen to that orchestra rag,
it's a beaut,
there's the flute,
roottetoottetoottetoot
Listen to that man in the middle
with his titiddle on his fifiddle,
Lordy! Listen to my pet clarinet
hear that trombone's soulful drag,
Rumtetum, there's the drum
Lordy man it's going some,
Doggone, hear that Orchestra Rag!

Listen to that orchestra rag,
it's a beaut,

Lordy man it's going some,
Doggone, hear that Orchestra Rag!
