Just like Jack the Ripper Just like Mojo Hand Just like Billy Sunday In a shotgun ragtime band Just like New York City, Just like Jericho Pace the halls and climb the walls Get out when they blow
(Chorus) Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on, baby Settle down easy Ramble on, Rose
Just like Jack and Jill Mama told the sailor One heat up and one cool down Leave nothin' for the tailor Just like Jack and Jill My Papa told the jailer One go up and one come down Do yourself a favor
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I'm gonna sing you a hundred verses in ragtime I know this song it ain't never gonna end I'm gonna march you up and down the local county line Take you to the leader of the band
Just like Crazy Otto Just like Wolfman Jack Sittin' plush with a royal flush Aces back to back Just like Mary Shelley Just like Frankenstein Clank your chains and count your change Try to walk the line
(Repeat chorus and bridge)
Goodbye, Mama and Papa Goodbye, Jack and Jill The grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter either side of the hill.
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on, baby Settle down easy Ramble on, Rose
