There was a minstrel man
down in Alabam' by the name of Sam
who won a lady's hand,
with a flute that he would play
he just stole her heart away
how the notes would shoot
when that boy would toot
it would sound so cute
upon that ragtime flute
It would make this gal so gay
she'd just hug up close and say:

Come on and rootitoot
upon your ragtime flute
oh, honey, I declare it sounds so rare.
I love the rootitoottle
of that Grizzly Bear
it makes me spoony dear
have a feeling that I want you near:
so play that rootitoot,
rootitoot rootitootle titootitoot
on your ragtime flute

Come on and rootitoot
upon your ragtime flute
oh, honey, I declare it sounds so rare.
I love the rootitoottle
of that Grizzly Bear
it makes me spoony dear
have a feeling that I want you near:
so play that rootitoot,
rootitoot rootitootle titootitoot
on your ragtime flute

But this here gal you know
loved that fellow so
she just had to go
to see the minstrel show
'cause she loved the rootitoot
of that fascinating flute
as the notes would fly
she would catch his eye
but this boy knew why
'cause he'd hear her sigh
she'd just moan and groan with joy
to that loving minstrel boy:

Come on and rootitoot
upon your ragtime flute
oh, honey, I declare it sounds so rare.
I love the rootitoottle
of that Grizzly Bear
it makes me spoony dear
have a feeling that I want you near:
so play that rootitoot,
rootitoot rootitootle titootitoot
on your ragtime flute

Come on and rootitoot
upon your ragtime flute
oh, honey, I declare it sounds so rare.
I love the rootitoottle
of that Grizzly Bear
it makes me spoony dear
have a feeling that I want you near:
so play that rootitoot,
rootitoot rootitootle titootitoot
on your ragtime flute.
