How Do You Do Miss Ragtime? 1912 'Aladdin'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 12 Jul 2005

Fare thee well, dreamy waltz,
go right on your way,
say goodbye, twostep prance,
you have had your day.
Keep trav'ling you other dances new,
Keep trav'ling, I've had enough of you.
Classic dance, you've no chance,
you can't win my heart,
GabyGlide go on hide,
say you'd better start,
just see who's coming along so gay,
Look who's coming this way!
See how she does that twirl!
My! but that girl's some girl.

How do you do Miss Ragtime,
Hats off to you Miss Ragtime.
When I see you coming
I forget the rest,
You're the only one,
the sweetest and the best;
I am dead in love,
head and heels in love,
always thinking of you.
Look who's here, Ragtime dear,
When you're near I feel queer,
There's a funny feeling comes along with you,
Makes me happy, happy, happy, never blue!
How'd you do Miss Ragtime,
how'd you do?

How do you do Miss Ragtime,
Hats off to you Miss Ragtime.
When I see you coming
I forget the rest,
You're the only one,
the sweetest and the best;
I am dead in love,
head and heels in love,
always thinking of you.
Look who's here, Ragtime dear,
When you're near I feel queer,
There's a funny feeling comes along with you,
Makes me happy, happy, happy, never blue!
How'd you do Miss Ragtime,
how'd you do?

Please don't leave or you'll grieve,
ragtime girl of mine,
I adore, I implore,
don't you make me pine,
my baby please stay around awhile.
My lady please smile a raggy smile.
Dancing feet, music sweet,
that's some feeling nice,
Ragatag music
jag oh, what paradise,
Miss Ragtime you've got me all in all.
I have taken some fall
Isn't that ragtime grand?
Lead me on, take my hand.

How do you do Miss Ragtime,
Hats off to you Miss Ragtime.
When I see you coming
I forget the rest,
You're the only one,
the sweetest and the best;
I am dead in love,
head and heels in love,
always thinking of you.
Look who's here, Ragtime dear,
When you're near I feel queer,
There's a funny feeling comes along with you,
Makes me happy, happy, happy, never blue!
How'd you do Miss Ragtime,
how'd you do?

How do you do Miss Ragtime,
Hats off to you Miss Ragtime.
When I see you coming
I forget the rest,
You're the only one,
the sweetest and the best;
I am dead in love,
head and heels in love,
always thinking of you.
Look who's here, Ragtime dear,
When you're near I feel queer,
There's a funny feeling comes along with you,
Makes me happy, happy, happy, never blue!
How'd you do Miss Ragtime,
how'd you do?
