Everybody Rag With Me
Composer(s): Grace LeBoy; Gus Kahn



What's that sneaky freaky, creepy, melody? 
It just takes me, makes me restless as can be
It goes to my heart, my head, my feet
I'll give anybody in the house my seat
I want to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance till I drop
I don't ever want to stop this ragging

Sousa's clever but he never played like this
This just thrills me and it fills me full of bliss
There it goes again! that sweet refrain! 
Every note reminds me of an Angel strain! 
Come on and dance, dance, dance, dance, then dance some more
We'll wear out this old pine floor completely

Everybody rag with me
Everybody drag with me
I've learned those dips and skips and dreamy hesitations
I could dance till day is dawning
Then I want to dance all morning 
Everybody sway with me
Drop your work and play with me
I don't want to hear any opera grand
Ragtime music, that's what I understand! 
I want everybody in the world to rag with me
