Road House Rag 1917

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 25 Feb 2005

Oh, honey, can you hear,
what is it chasing near behind us?
Is it the cycle cop,
you know that cycle wap will find us.
Sit tight, dear,
don't you dare to shout,
old engine, going,
to let you out, but,
Stop! Look! List! Babe,
here comes a train,
comes a train, Just missed it!
We're only half a mile,
we're only half a mile away, dear,
When we get near the Inn,
the music will begin to play, dear,
Just dance you all around the floor,
Just dance till we can dance no more,
Stop! Look! Here!
We are, here we are, we are.

Oh, Oh, you Road House Rag,
Such a rag, such a rag,
oh, such a lovely rag,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Drag,
what a drag, what a drag,
oh what a lovely drag,
teach me the dance that I never have got,
Come, baby, how will you teach me the trot?
Honey, come cuddle closer,
come cuddle up, cuddle up,
let us try it,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Rag,
such a rag, such a rag,
Oh such a lovely rag,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Drag,
such a drag, such a drag,
oh, such a lovely drag,
far, far away from the home
and the awful strife,
far, far away from the kids
and the awful wife,
Oh, oh, you Road House Rag.

Oh, Oh, you Road House Rag,
Such a rag, such a rag,
oh, such a lovely rag,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Drag,
what a drag, what a drag,
oh what a lovely drag,
teach me the dance that I never have got,
Come, baby, how will you teach me the trot?
Honey, come cuddle closer,
come cuddle up, cuddle up,
let us try it,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Rag,
such a rag, such a rag,
Oh such a lovely rag,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Drag,
such a drag, such a drag,
oh, such a lovely drag,
far, far away from the home
and the awful strife,
far, far away from the kids
and the awful wife,
Oh, oh, you Road House Rag.

Come on, it's getting late,
you know I really hate to worry,
No more to eat and drink,
a reason Hon, I think to hurry,
That's better, early morning air,
Look west, dear,
ain't there something there,
Stop! look! There, Oh,
up comes the sun, comes the sun,
Hon, kiss me!
Love is so, love it so,
I never want to go a home, dear,
If you'll agree to stay,
let's start in right away to roam, dear,
We'll stick along thro' sun or rain,
We'll live it over once again,
Stop! Turn! Back!
We go, here we go, here we go.

Oh, Oh, you Road House Rag,
Such a rag, such a rag,
oh, such a lovely rag,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Drag,
what a drag, what a drag,
oh what a lovely drag,
teach me the dance that I never have got,
Come, baby, how will you teach me the trot?
Honey, come cuddle closer,
come cuddle up, cuddle up,
let us try it,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Rag,
such a rag, such a rag,
Oh such a lovely rag,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Drag,
such a drag, such a drag,
oh, such a lovely drag,
far, far away from the home
and the awful strife,
far, far away from the kids
and the awful wife,
Oh, oh, you Road House Rag.

Oh, Oh, you Road House Rag,
Such a rag, such a rag,
oh, such a lovely rag,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Drag,
what a drag, what a drag,
oh what a lovely drag,
teach me the dance that I never have got,
Come, baby, how will you teach me the trot?
Honey, come cuddle closer,
come cuddle up, cuddle up,
let us try it,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Rag,
such a rag, such a rag,
Oh such a lovely rag,
Oh, Oh, you Road House Drag,
such a drag, such a drag,

far, far away from the home
and the awful strife,
far, far away from the kids
and the awful wife,
Oh, oh, you Road House Rag.
