[1st verse:]

Lissa to the sweet-a rag-a time

Ain't it nunga make you feel-a fine?

Ev'rybody dance, sleep-a like-a trance

Keep-a steady, get-a ready

One, two three Kid!

What's-a matta you no look-a wise?

Get-a busy, make-a goo goo eyes

Nunga make-a fake, just-a shake-a shake

Make-a jealous for the other guys



[chorus:]

Sweet Marie

Make-a rag-a-time-a dance wid me?

Take a steam-a boat to Italy

On the rag-a line

Hey you wop-a, nunga stop-a

Kiss-a Tony, call 'em pop-a

One, two, three

I'm-a feel-a like-a "Hully Gee"

Come dance rag time wid me

Oh, my sweet-a Marie



[2nd verse:]

What's-a matta you no wanna dance?

Nunga feel afraid to take a chance

Ev'rybody look, shout-a, "Get da hook!"

I'm-a sad-a feel-a bad-a

Shake you'self Kid!

If you love-a Tony nice-a fine

Make-a noise-a like-a rag-a time

Hurry up-a quick, nunga take a week

If you nunga wanna never mind
