Oh yes I'm going
Yes I'm going
With a love that's ever growing
To that cold black Mammy of mine
Not a cent, not a cent
And my clothes are only lent
All the same she'll think I'm just fine
How I dream, how I scheme
And at times it almost seems
That the sun would never never shine
That's why Oh I'm going
Yes I'm going
Pretty soon I'll be helloing
To that cold black mammy of mine

So when you're smiling
When you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughing
When you're laughing
The sun comes smiling through
But when you're crying
You bring on the rain
So stop you're sighing
Be happy again
And keep on smiling
'Cos when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you

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 call like you never heard before.
So natural that you want to go to war.
That's just the bestest band that am, 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!
And if you care to hear that Swanee River played in ragtime,
Come on and hear, come on and hear,
Alexander's Ragtime Band!

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!
And if you care to hear that Swanee River played in ragtime,
Come on and hear, come on and hear,
Alexander's Ragtime Band!

Every star above
Knows the one I love
Sweet Sue
Just you
And the moon up high
Knows the reason why
Sweet Sue
It's you
No-one else it seems
Ever shares my dreams
And without you here
I don't know what I'll do
In this heart of mine
You live all the time
Sweet Sue
Baby it's you

When you wore a tulip,
A sweet, yellow tulip,
And I wore a big red rose.
When you caressed me,
It was then Heaven blessed me,
Such a blessing no one knows.
You made life cheery
When you called me dearie,
'Twas down where the blue grass grows.
Your lips were Sweeter than julep
When you wore a tulip,
And I wore a big red rose. 

If you were the only girl in the world
And I were the only boy
Nothing else would matter in the world today
We could go on loving in the same old way
A garden of Eden just made for two
With nothing to mar our joy
I would say such wonderful things to you
There would be such wonderful things to do
If you were the only girl in the world
And I were the only boy.
A garden of Eden just made for two
With nothing to mar our joy
I would say such wonderful things to you
There would be such wonderful things to do
If you were the only girl in the world
And I were the only boy.
