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 what am
Oh my 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 want to hear the swanee river played in ragtime
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Alexander's ragtime band

Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Alexanders marching band
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
It's the best band in the land

They can 
(scat)

That's just the bestest band what am
Oh my 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 the swanee river played in cool time

And if you want to hear the swanee river played in ragtime
Come on and hear
Come on and hear
Alexander's ragtime band

(Brief Scat)
Alexander's ragtime band
