Oh hear that orchestra playin' Bill,
yes, that's the rag they call Daffydil,
I'm just crazy 'bout that tune,
say you'll go to the nut house soon.
That leader's got Phillip Sousa beat
we'll take him out
and then you can treat
I'll do anything you say.
Well then ask them if they'll play
That rag all night and day,
I'll ask a favor Mister Leader man
just play that tune as strong as you can.

Daffy, daffy, daffydil Rag,
say kid, tell me ain't that some drag,
glide your lady over the floor,
kiss her once
and she'll ask for more,
Raggy, draggy oceans of joy,
look I'm floating
please don't hit a snag.
I love my sister,
love my brother,
love my father,
love my mother,
but oh you daffydil
Gee, that's some daffydil,
doggone that daffydil rag.

Daffy, daffy, daffydil Rag,
say kid, tell me ain't that some drag,
glide your lady over the floor,
kiss her once
and she'll ask for more,
Raggy, draggy oceans of joy,
look I'm floating
please don't hit a snag.
I love my sister,
love my brother,
love my father,
love my mother,
but oh you daffydil
Gee, that's some daffydil,
doggone that daffydil rag.

That old trombone sure is going some,
Guess that's not music in that snare drum,
that cornet with its toot, toot, toot
ain't it daffy dil it's a beaut,
say Mister Leader don't you dare get tired.
If you stop that music,
you'll sure get fired,
stick your chest out
take your stand,
lead that bunch to beat the band,
that daffy dil's just grand,
I'm dying for that tune man cross my heart.
I'm itching till I hear that music start.

Daffy, daffy, daffydil Rag,
say kid, tell me ain't that some drag,
glide your lady over the floor,
kiss her once
and she'll ask for more,
Raggy, draggy oceans of joy,
look I'm floating
please don't hit a snag.
I love my sister,
love my brother,
love my father,
love my mother,
but oh you daffydil
Gee, that's some daffydil,
doggone that daffydil rag.

Daffy, daffy, daffydil Rag,
say kid, tell me ain't that some drag,
glide your lady over the floor,
kiss her once
and she'll ask for more,
Raggy, draggy oceans of joy,
look I'm floating
please don't hit a snag.
I love my sister,
love my brother,
love my father,
love my mother,
but oh you daffydil
Gee, that's some daffydil,
doggone that daffydil rag.
