The Ragtime Pipe Of Pan 1915 'A World of Pleasure'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 23 July 2004

Pan was quite a man,
back in the ages,
and some boy in hist'ry's pages,
Oh, he was a shepherd king.

Back in Arcady he was a winner,
and of ragtime the beginner,
when his reed pipe he would bring.

Oh, all the country crowned him
when he would play.
They all would get around him
to hear his lay..

Oh that ragtime Pipe of Pan
Oh, how he played that music man!
And when he played on his pipe,
all the animals came round to see,
his little reed seemed
to feed them up on melody.
On his reed when he'd lead,
most ev'ryone would start a dancing;

Oh, that ragtime Shepherd King!
His pipe he'd bring
and make it sing most anything;
He played the rag in a classical way,
he was some rag picker
back in his day,
when he played upon
the ragtime pipe of Pan.

Oh that ragtime Pipe of Pan
Oh, how he played that music man!
And when he played on his pipe,
all the animals came round to see,
his little reed seemed
to feed them up on melody.
On his reed when he'd lead,
most ev'ryone would start a dancing;

Oh, that ragtime Shepherd King!
His pipe he'd bring
and make it sing most anything;
He played the rag in a classical way,
he was some rag picker
back in his day,
when he played upon
the ragtime pipe of Pan.
