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
