In the land of old Japan
the home of parasol and fan
there they have a funny style of dance
an oriental syncopated prance
Jiu jitsu from afar
oh gee it gits you ev'ry bar
that's the style there
on the isle of funny sunny Japan.
Oriental Rag

O that Oriental Rag
O that gently
oriental sentimental strain
drives me insane.
O that swinging incense Jag
Oriental Rag

O that Oriental Rag
O that gently
oriental sentimental strain
drives me insane.
O that swinging incense Jag
Oriental Rag

Guess the old Mikado knew
the kind of dances that we do
for he said: "Cut out that tommyrot!
Cut out the Grizzly Bear and Turkey Trot
Stop that Texas Tommy Swing
the Oriental dope's the thing!"
Get in line, the dancing's fine
in funny sunny Japan.
Oriental Rag

O that Oriental Rag
O that gently
oriental sentimental strain
drives me insane.
O that swinging incense Jag
Oriental Rag

O that Oriental Rag
O that gently
oriental sentimental strain
drives me insane.
O that swinging incense Jag
Oriental Rag
