Oscar, Oscar,
played upon the flute,
played it, played it
played it like a lute,
played at dances
weddings and the like,
he was always on hand,
Mary, Mary, liked to hear him play,
and for hours at his side would stay,
How he teased her pleased and squeezed her
Um, such a loveable man.

Root, toot, toot, toot,
toot, played Oscar
on his lovin' ragtime flute,
played a melody
in the Key of C,
ev'rybody was wild,
how he let his lovin' fingers
linger on the scale,
kept right on a goin'
like a Nightingale,
Root, toot, toot, toot,
toot played Oscar
on his lovin' ragtime flute.

Root, toot, toot, toot,
toot, played Oscar
on his lovin' ragtime flute,

in the Key of C,
ev'rybody was wild,
how he let his lovin' fingers
linger on the scale,
kept right on a goin'
like a Nightingale,
Root, toot, toot, toot,
toot played Oscar
on his lovin' ragtime flute.

Mary, Mary,
gave a fancy ball,
all invited whether big or small,
'cause her Oscar
led the orchestra,
with his loveable flute,
ev'rybody stood
around the stand,
watching Oscar lead
the raggy band,
how he soothed them
gently moved them on.
'til they started to dance.

Root, toot, toot, toot,
toot, played Oscar
on his lovin' ragtime flute,
played a melody
in the Key of C,
ev'rybody was wild,
how he let his lovin' fingers
linger on the scale,
kept right on a goin'
like a Nightingale,
Root, toot, toot, toot,
toot played Oscar
on his lovin' ragtime flute.
