[1st verse:]

Ev'ryone was singing, dancing, springing

At a wedding yesterday

Yiddle on his fiddle played some ragtime

And when Sadie heard him play

She jumped up and looked him in the eyes

Yiddle swelled his chest 'way out

Ev'ryone was taken by surprise

When they heard Sadie shout



[chorus:]

Yiddle in the middle of your fiddle, play some ragtime

Get busy

I'm dizzy

I'm feeling two years young

Mine choc'late baby, if you'll maybe play for Sadie

Some more ragtime

Yiddle, don't you stop, if you do, I'll drop

For I just can't make my eyes shut up

Yiddle on your fiddle, play some ragtime



[2nd verse:]

At the supper table Sadie thought

Yiddle must have flew the coop

She looked all around, but could not find him

'Till she heard him drinking soup

Sadie waited till they served the fish

Then she jumped upon the floor

Put a quarter right on Yiddle's dish

And yelled to him once more
