Come on and hear... come on and hear
Alexanderâs ragtime band
Come on and hear... come on and hear
Itâs the best band in the land
They can play a bugle call like you never heared before
So natural that you wanna go to war
Thatâs 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... I said the man
Whoâs the leader of the band
If you care to hear that swanee river played in ragtime
Come on and hear... come on and hear
Alexanderâs ragtime band
(instrumental break)
Come on and hear... come on and hear
Alexanderâs ragtime band
Come on and hear... come on and hear
Itâs the best band in the land
And if you want to hear that swanee river played in ragtime
Come on and hear... come on and hear
Alexanderâs ragtime band
