| Song Lyrics: |
I went down to my gal's last night;
I was lookin' good and feelin' right.
Thought we'd sit out under the moon an'
Kiss and hug awhile, and maybe do a little spoonin'.
**(female voice sighs)**
Went up to her porch, knocked upon the door,
Got a reception like never before.
Her mama met we with a look of dismay
And said: Betty can't come out to play
So young man, you better go away
**(female voice joins both choruses)**
'Cause it's ragtime, ragtime
You oughta know.
It's ragtime, ragtime
'Case it doesn't show.
It's ragtime, ragtime
Once a month it's ragtime
On the ragtime
Ray-dee-eye-oh-wee, instrumental break!
**(male and female voices imitate horns in ragtime duet)**
**(spoken:)**
Ah yes, ladies and gentlemen,
Once a month it's ragtime
on the ragtime ray-dee-eye-oh.
Why, you could say we make it a point
to come to you periodically.
We're the only show that consistently
pulls out all stops to give you what you want.
Now I've heard excuses in my time;
Guess I've heard about every line.
Some girls'll leave ya for another man, and
**(female voice doubles following line:)**
Some'll double up or triple time ya if they can.
But now, I've never been through a thing like this.
Must be a number that I missed.
Ah, but I do know right from wrong
And if you think I'm gonna take a back seat to a song
While I can't get off, but she gets on
The ragtime, ragtime
Without a doubt.
It's ragtime, ragtime
You can hear me shout:
It's ragtime, ragtime
Once a month it's ragtime
On the ragtime
Ray-dee-eye-oh, somebody help me
On the ragtime
Ray-dee-eye-oh, get me out of this mess I'm in.
On the ragtime
Ray-dee-eye-oh, my.
