Ragtime Caveman Of Mine 1922

I know you've heard about the style men,
quite sure you must have heard of wild men,
you've read of Tarzan of the Apes
who leaped from tree to tree just to get his grapes,
and then you've heard of lazy Jazz men,
the crazy dancing razzmatazz men
who tickle toe and shimmy around
but they have nothing on a man I've found.

Oh! Ragtime caveman of mine
stone age syncopator divine,
and when he loves
he holds you tight
and when he gives a kiss he gives it right,
Weird moaning Pipes o' Pan
have nothing on my primitive man
you can't resist his sweet harmony
he'll knock you stiff
with a rag melody
when you hear him,
you draw near him,
Ragtime caveman of mine.

Ragtime caveman of mine
stone age syncopator divine,
and when he loves
he holds you tight
and when he gives a kiss he gives it right,
Weird moaning Pipes o' Pan
have nothing on my primitive man
When he starts playing his farewell tune
and says goodnight dear
then I start to moan,
if you leave me,
it will grieve me
Ragtime caveman of mine.

Way back in long and distant ages
before the time of hist'ries pages
in prehistoric times
they played on little choppin' bowls
while the natives swayed,
once from a cave there came a dancer
a shrewd and foxy little prancer
who vamped and danced her way from the start
straight to the folds of his grandpa's heart.

Oh! Ragtime caveman of mine
stone age syncopator divine,
and when he loves
he holds you tight
and when he gives a kiss he gives it right,
Weird moaning Pipes o' Pan
have nothing on my primitive man
you can't resist his sweet harmony
he'll knock you stiff
with a rag melody
when you hear him,
you draw near him,
Ragtime caveman of mine.

Ragtime caveman of mine
stone age syncopator divine,
and when he loves
he holds you tight
and when he gives a kiss he gives it right,
Weird moaning Pipes o' Pan
have nothing on my primitive man
When he starts playing his farewell tune
and says goodnight dear
then I start to moan,
if you leave me,
it will grieve me
Ragtime caveman of mine.
