Singalong Version of “Alexander's Ragtime Band”

Singalong version of “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” by Irving Berlin. This song was originally published in 1911 and is in the public domain. We created a new recording for this video. The song was one of Berlin’s first big hits. It has been recorded by many wonderful artists, including Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ray Charles.
Lyrics:
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 to to Alexander's grandstand 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, 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.
