Dearie I'm feelin' bad,
come have me feelin' glad,
you know I'm nearly mad
about that ever lovin' strain,
for it's surely got me near in name,
let these musicians play,
then we can glide away,
come back some other day,
Now don't you dare to lag,
on the raving rag.

Oh Oh that raving rag
just like a musical jag
slide to that happy drag
Kiss me dear and never fear
your joyful steps I'll steer
the way is clear
oh let them play that strain,
The strain that's turned my brain,
Full speed on that joy train,
that man, sure can,
go some,
On Raving Rag.

Oh Oh that raving rag
just like a musical jag
slide to that happy drag
Kiss me dear and never fear
your joyful steps I'll steer
the way is clear
oh let them play that strain,
The strain that's turned my brain,
Full speed on that joy train,
that man, sure can,
go some,
On Raving Rag.

Say you'll always be near,
you know I love to hear,
Rag buzzin' round my ear,
I think I'm surely goin' to cry,
Did you hear me heave that joyful sigh,
tell them to give me more,
just the same as before,
while we skim o'er the floor,
I'm waiting for the time,
when you'll be all mine.

Oh Oh that raving rag
just like a musical jag
slide to that happy drag
Kiss me dear and never fear
your joyful steps I'll steer
the way is clear
oh let them play that strain,
The strain that's turned my brain,
Full speed on that joy train,
that man, sure can,
go some,
On Raving Rag.

Oh Oh that raving rag
just like a musical jag
slide to that happy drag
Kiss me dear and never fear
your joyful steps I'll steer
the way is clear
oh let them play that strain,
The strain that's turned my brain,
Full speed on that joy train,
that man, sure can,
go some,
On Raving Rag.
