Key of G
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 heard before; So natural that you want to 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 Alexander’s Ragtime Band.
