That Rooster's Walking Rag 1912

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 24 Jun 2005

Oh, ain't that grand!
Come take my hand,
let us get in line.
Oh, it's simply fine!
We have tried that good old turkey trot,
but gee whizz!
Don't this just touch the spot?
All around you a funny feeling,
when you hear that Rooster's Rag
come stealing.
Come along; I'm getting strong;
I want to do that Rooster's cockadoodledo"
That Rooster's Walking Rag.

Gee! That Rooster's Rag,
it's got some drag,
see those roosters step around the hall!
Believe me, Lizzie, you'll get dizzy,
for fagging rag this beats them all
just take it from me, kid,
it's simply grand,
to see them roosters ragging,
hand in hand,
doing that rooster's Cockadoodledo"
That Rooster's Walking Rag.

In your sleep
you hear that tune,
you start ragging with
the man in the moon,
ev'ry thing 'round you begins swaying,
and you wish that band
would keep on playing.
You begin to hum,
you're going some,
"Come, take me dearie,
this makes me cheery.
Come along; I'm getting strong;
I want to do that Rooster's cockadoodledo"
That Rooster's Walking Rag."

Gee! That Rooster's Rag,
it's got some drag,
see those roosters step around the hall!
Believe me, Lizzie, you'll get dizzy,
for fagging rag this beats them all
just take it from me, kid,
it's simply grand,
to see them roosters ragging,
hand in hand,
doing that rooster's Cockadoodledo"
That Rooster's Walking Rag.
