Ziegfeld Follies Rag 1917

Oh! I go out and dance a lot
I simply love to trot
the dancing bug I've got sure.
For I'm gone when music starts a playin'
stay out till dawn
a' gliding 'round and swaying
I like to glide and hesitate
I love to syncopate
I saw a dance that was great
The other night upon the roof.

Just watch me and I will show you a new rag
now, first you have to take it kind of slow.
Just a lazy sort of melody
full of old time harmony
like "Loving Rag" and "Loving Joe"
You grab your gal and you start in a walking
and then you just do a sort of a drag
Get over Sally, get way back
and then you Ball The Jack
You Bombershay and slack up
Now that's the way to do
that Ziegfeld Follies Rag

Just watch me and I will show you a new rag
now, first you have to take it kind of slow.
Just a lazy sort of melody
full of old time harmony
like "Loving Rag" and "Loving Joe"
You grab your gal and you start in a walking
and then you just do a sort of a drag
Get over Sally, get way back
and then you Ball The Jack
You Bombershay and slack up
Now that's the way to do
that Ziegfeld Follies Rag.
