When I'm feeling blue
and lonesome too,
I think of you;
I want you near me,
just to cheer me
with your magic melody.
When that tune you play
the world, so grey,
just fades away;
I leave my sorrow,
till tomorrow
in a dream of ecstasy!

Oh! That tune!
Won't you play me
that wonderful melody?
Oh! That tune!
Can't you see
how it's haunting and taunting me.
All the time I'm crazy for you,
no one gets me like you do.
Night and day
that melomelody.
It thrills me through!
You've some style!
Keeps me near you
to hear you just all the while,
you can play just like nobody can;
yes, you can!
Run your finger over the keys.
Say! Play me some ragtime,
Mister Misterious Musical Melody Man!

Oh! That tune!
Won't you play me
that wonderful melody?
Oh! That tune!
Can't you see
how it's haunting and taunting me.
All the time I'm crazy for you,
no one gets me like you do.
Night and day
that melomelody.
It thrills me through!
You've some style!
Keeps me near you
to hear you just all the while,
you can play just like nobody can;
yes, you can!
Run your finger over the keys.
Say! Play me some ragtime,
Mister Misterious Musical Melody Man!

When the shadows fall,
then most of all,
you seem to call;
Your hypnotizing harmonizing
makes me love to hear you play.
Won't you play it soon?
That lovely tune,
'cause night and noon,
it's so appealing,
softly stealing,
seems to charm my heart away!

Oh! That tune!
Won't you play me
that wonderful melody?
Oh! That tune!
Can't you see
how it's haunting and taunting me.
All the time I'm crazy for you,
no one gets me like you do.
Night and day
that melomelody.
It thrills me through!
You've some style!
Keeps me near you
to hear you just all the while,
you can play just like nobody can;
yes, you can!
Run your finger over the keys.
Say! Play me some ragtime,
Mister Misterious Musical Melody Man!

Oh! That tune!
Won't you play me
that wonderful melody?
Oh! That tune!
Can't you see
how it's haunting and taunting me.
All the time I'm crazy for you,
no one gets me like you do.
Night and day
that melomelody.
It thrills me through!
You've some style!
Keeps me near you
to hear you just all the while,
you can play just like nobody can;
yes, you can!
Run your finger over the keys.
Say! Play me some ragtime,
Mister Misterious Musical Melody Man!
