Alexander's Ragtime Band

- words and music by Irving Berlin

- as recorded by Bing Crosby and Al Jolson in 1947



Come on and hear, come on and hear Alexander's Ragtime Band

Come on and hear, come on and hear 'bout 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

That's 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, up to the man who's the leader of the band

And if you care to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime

Come on and hear (come on and hear), come on and hear (come on and hear)

Alexander's Ragtime Band!



Come on and hear (come on and hear), come on and hear (come on and hear)

Alexander's Ragtime Band

Come on and hear (well here I come), come on and hear (I'm standin' right here)

It's the best band in the land

They can play a bugle call like you never heared before

(whistle)

That's just the bestest band what am, oh Honey Lamb



Come on along (come on along), come on along (come on along)

Let me take you by the hand (here's my lilywhites)

Up to the man (the mighty man), I'm talkin' 'bout the man

Mmm, 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), come on and hear (come on and hear)

Alexander's Ragtime Band
