Текст песни: Alexander's Ragtime Band (Edison Cylinder, 1913) + перевод

Oh ma honey, oh ma honey

Better hurry and let’s meander

Ain’t you goin', ain’t you goin'?

To the leader man, ragged meter man?

Oh ma honey, oh ma honey

Let me take you to Alexander’s

Grand stand brass band

Ain’t you comin' along?

Come on and hear, come on and hear

Alexander’s Ragtime Band

Come on and hear, come on and hear

It’s 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, aw honey lamb

Come on along, come on along

Let me take you by the hand

Up to the man, the funny 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!

Oh ma honey, oh ma honey

There’s a fiddle with notes that screeches

Just like a chicken, like a chicken

And the clarinet, is a coloured pet

Come and listen, come and listen

To a classical band what’s peaches

Come now, somehow

Better hurry along!

Come on and hear, come on and hear

Alexander’s Ragtime Band

Come on and hear, come on and hear

It’s 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, aw honey lamb

Come on along, come on along

Let me take you by the hand

Up to the man, the funny 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!

Ain’t that just the bestest band what am, aw honey lamb

Come on and hear, come on and hear

Alexander’s Ragtime Band
