  • 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 want to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime

    Come on and hear, come on and hear
    Alexander's Ragtime Band Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
