Lis - ten, lis - ten, lis - ten at that drea-my mu-sic play - ing

Sway-ing, Sway-ing, Sway-ing right and left, each one a ree - ling

it's re-mi-nis-cent, lis-ten what you're mis-sing, that tune that keeps you sway - ing

the bands a- play - ing, Sway-ing, all display-ing that ragtime mooch-ee feel - ing

my! but that mu - sic sounds sweet! I just can't keep still up on my feet

Clouds of joy floating 'round the hall a reign of hap - pi -ness seems to fall

'Cause rag - time mu - sic to me is a per - fect treat (because it certainly can't be beat)

It is so en - tran - cing while dancing at a rag-time ball (because it makes a hit with all)

When at a ball you are feel - ing kind - er blue now lis - ten , and I'll tell you what to do

When at a ball and you feel some-what blue there's but one thing left for you to do

Commence advancin', commence advancin'

Just start a pran - cin', right and left a-glancin'

A moochee dancin', slide and glide entrancin'

You do the tango jiggle With a Texas Tommy wiggle

Take your part- ner, and you hold her Lightly en - fold her, a little bol - der

Just work your shoulder,Snap your fingers one and all, in the hall At the ball , that's

All All some ball !
