Lyrics:

Come on in

Oh ma honey, oh ma honey
Better hurry and let's meander
Ain't you goin', ain't you goin'?
To the leader man, ragged meter man

Oh ma honey, oh ma honey
Let me take you
To Alexander's grand stand, brass band
Ain't you comin' along?

Come on and hear, come on and hear
Alexander's ragtime band
Come on and hear, come on and hear
It's the best band in the land

They can play a bugle
Like you never heard before
That's so natural that you want to go to war
That's just the bestest band what am
Oh, honey lamb

Come on along, come on along
Let me take you by the hand
Up to the man, to the man
Who's the leader of the band?

If you want to hear that Swanee Music
Played in ragtime

Come on and hear, come on and hear
Come on and hear Alexander's ragtime band
Come on and hear, come on and hear
Come on and hear Alexander's ragtime band

Come on and hear, come on and hear
Alexander's ragtime band
Come on and hear, come on and hear
It's the best band in the land

They can play a bugle
Like you never heard before
That's so natural that you want to go to war
That's just the best band what am
Oh, honey lamb

Come on along, come on along
Let me take you by the hand
Up to the man, up to the man
Who's the leader of the band?

Come on along, come on along
Call this Alexander's ragtime band
Come on along, gather around
Call this Alexander's ragtime band
