Alexander's ragtime band Lyrics


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 landThey can play a bugle call
Like you never heard before
So natural that you want to go to warThat's just the bestest band what am, Honey LambCome 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 bandAnd if you want to hear the Swanee River played in ragtimeCome on and hear, come on and hear
Alexander's Ragtime Band

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
