Mister Brown,
Mister Brown had a violin,
went around, all around
with his violin.
Lawdy, how he play'd it
sway'd it, made it moan
to beautiful Anna Lize
Anna Lize heard his violin
roll'd her eyes,
roll'd her eyes at his violin
Lawdy, how he lov'd her
turtle doved 'er
when Anna would cry:

Fiddle up, fiddle up on your violin
lay right on it
rest your chin upon it
doggone you better begin
and play an overture upon your violin,
Hurry up, hurry up with your violin
make it sooner
don't you stop to tune 'er,
fid, fid, fid, fiddle the middle
of your ragtime violin

Fiddle up, fiddle up on your violin
lay right on it
rest your chin upon it
doggone you better begin
and play an overture upon your violin,
Hurry up, hurry up with your violin
make it sooner
don't you stop to tune 'er,
fid, fid, fid, fiddle the middle
of your ragtime violin

Mister Brown,
Mister Brown at a fancy ball,
sat around, sat around
sat around the hall.
Wouldn't take a chance to dance
because the band was terrible
Anna Lize, Anna Lize hit upon a plan
roll'd her eyes,
roll'd her eyes at the leader man
took his fiddle down to Mister Brown
to just kiss him and cry:

Fiddle up, fiddle up on your violin
lay right on it
rest your chin upon it
doggone you better begin
and play an overture upon your violin,
Hurry up, hurry up with your violin
make it sooner
don't you stop to tune 'er,
fid, fid, fid, fiddle the middle
of your ragtime violin

Fiddle up, fiddle up on your violin
lay right on it
rest your chin upon it
doggone you better begin
and play an overture upon your violin,
Hurry up, hurry up with your violin
make it sooner
don't you stop to tune 'er,
fid, fid, fid, fiddle the middle
of your ragtime violin.
