 VERSE 1:
 Oh, ma hon-ey, oh, ma hon-ey, bet-ter hur-ry and let's me-an-der
 Ain't you go-in'? Ain't you go-in'? To the lea-der-man, rag-ged me-ter man?
 Oh, ma hon-ey, oh, ma hon-ey, Let me take you to Al-ex-an-der's
 Grand stand brass band, ain't you com-in' a-long?
 CHORUS:
 Come on and hear! Come on and hear! Al-ex-an-der's rag-time band!
 Come on and hear! Come on and hear! It's the best band in the land!
 They can play a bu-gle call like you nev-er heard be-fore
 So nat-u-ral that you want to go to war
 That's just the best-est band what am, oh, ma hon-ey lamb
 Come on a-long, come on a-long, let me take you by the hand
 Up to the man, the funny man, who's the lead-er of the band
 And if you care to hear the Swa-nee Riv-er played in rag-time
 Come on and hear, come on and hear,
 Al-ex-an-der's Rag-Time Band.
 VERSE 2:
 Oh, ma hon-ey, oh, ma hon-ey, there's a fid-dle with notes that scree-ches,
 Like a chick-en, like a chick-en, and the clar-i-net is a col-ored pet
 Come and list-en, come and list-en, to a class-i-cal band what's pea-ches
 Come now, some-how, bet-ter hur-ry a-long!
 CHORUS:
 Come on and hear! Come on and hear! Al-ex-an-der's rag-time band!
 Come on and hear! Come on and hear! It's the best band in the land!
 They can play a bu-gle call like you nev-er heard be-fore
 So nat-u-ral that you want to go to war
 That's just the best-est band what am, oh, ma hon-ey lamb
 Come on a-long, come on a-long, let me take you by the hand
 Up to the man, up to the man, who's the lead-er of the band
 And if you care to hear the Swa-nee Riv-er played in rag-time
 Come on and hear, come on and hear,
 Al-ex-an-der's Rag-Time Band
