That Tinkling Tango Tune 1913

Oh Honey,
see the dancers on the floor!
The music's started in
to play once more
and that's a strain
that gets me swaying;
Please tell me what it is they're playing!
So that's the Tango that they rave about
I hate to dance to tunes when they drag,
so get to the leader man
ask him if he can
play the Tango in Rag.

Ev'rybody rags the Tango tune,
I could dance it
morning night and noon,
'Cause you do it right,
I love it so!
Oh! I feel so light
Honey, hold me tight!
I could never tell you
how it feels!
Let's keep dancing
and send out for meals,
That's the wedding march
I want in June!
That Tinkling Tango tune,
Just rag that Tinkling Tango Tune!

Ev'rybody rags the Tango tune,
I could dance it
morning night and noon,
'Cause you do it right,
I love it so!
Oh! I feel so light
Honey, hold me tight!
I could never tell you
how it feels!
Let's keep dancing
and send out for meals,
That's the wedding march
I want in June!
That Tinkling Tango tune,
Just rag that Tinkling Tango Tune!

I wonder who it was invented this!
I love it so I'd give the man a kiss;
don't try to talk but just keep busy,
I'll never stop till I get dizzy!
I hear the law forbids the Turkey Trot
It doesn't matter much if they do!
Oh, I only wish they would,
this is just as good
and it's something that's new!

Ev'rybody rags the Tango tune,
I could dance it
morning night and noon,
'Cause you do it right,
I love it so!
Oh! I feel so light
Honey, hold me tight!
I could never tell you
how it feels!
Let's keep dancing
and send out for meals,
That's the wedding march
I want in June!
That Tinkling Tango tune,
Just rag that Tinkling Tango Tune!

Ev'rybody rags the Tango tune,
I could dance it
morning night and noon,
'Cause you do it right,
I love it so!
Oh! I feel so light
Honey, hold me tight!
I could never tell you
how it feels!
Let's keep dancing
and send out for meals,
That's the wedding march
I want in June!
That Tinkling Tango tune,
Just rag that Tinkling Tango Tune!
