[Boys:] Baby, look a here,
look a here, look a here,
[Girls:] What is it dear?
What is it dear?
[Boys:] Ain't you glad
you got a babe like me,
that takes you out upon a jubilee?
[Girls:] Baby, look a here,
look a here, look a here!
[Boys:] What is it dear?
What is it dear?
[Girls:] You won my heart that's all,
when you brought me to the Barber's Ball!

[All:] Coons from ev'ry city
at the Barber's Ball,
Gals so gay and pretty at the Barber's Ball;
Tough coons, rough coons, dead swell coons,
Waltzes, TwoSteps, Ragtime tunes;
there ain't a goin' to be any sleep at all,
there ain't a goin' to be any early call,
until the stars are gone,
until the break of dawn,
we're goin' to dance at the Barber's Ball

Coons from ev'ry city
at the Barber's Ball,
Gals so gay and pretty at the Barber's Ball;
Tough coons, rough coons, dead swell coons,
Waltzes, TwoSteps, Ragtime tunes;
there ain't a goin' to be any sleep at all,
there ain't a goin' to be any early call,
until the stars are gone,
until the break of dawn,
we're goin' to dance at the Barber's Ball

[Girls:] Baby, look a here,
look a here, look a here!
[Boys:] What is it dear?
What is it dear?
[Girls:] Ain't you glad you got a gal like me,
that buzzes 'round you like a bumble bee?
[Boys:] Baby, look a here,
look a here, look a here!
[Girls:] What is it dear?
What is it dear?
There's coons both old and young,
that the little bumble bees have stung.

[All:] Coons from ev'ry city
at the Barber's Ball,
Gals so gay and pretty at the Barber's Ball;
Tough coons, rough coons, dead swell coons,
Waltzes, TwoSteps, Ragtime tunes;
there ain't a goin' to be any sleep at all,
there ain't a goin' to be any early call,
until the stars are gone,
until the break of dawn,
we're goin' to dance at the Barber's Ball

Coons from ev'ry city
at the Barber's Ball,
Gals so gay and pretty at the Barber's Ball;
Tough coons, rough coons, dead swell coons,
Waltzes, TwoSteps, Ragtime tunes;
there ain't a goin' to be any sleep at all,
there ain't a goin' to be any early call,
until the stars are gone,
until the break of dawn,
we're goin' to dance at the Barber's Ball.
