Another Rag
Composer(s): D.A. Esrom - Theodore Morse



What's that tune I'm hearing everywhere? 
What's that sound a floating in the air? 
What's that music all the brass bands play?
Hear it in the morning every night and day.
'Taint like music Mister Wagner wrote
Got a funny, sneaky minor note, if you ask what they are playing
Everybody will be saying, "It's another rag, that's all"

That's some tune, it's got some feeling too 
You don't know just what has happened to you
Starts you jumping like a big jumping Jack 
sending chills a running up and down your back
It's a lovey dovery sort of a strain 
Make you do things that you can't explain 
When the violins are scraping
Then you'll know there's no escaping
From another raggy rag

Another rag, another raggy rag
Another tune to set you spoony soon
Another crazy tune, another lazy tune
It's a slippy, dippy, creepy, sleepy "get you going rag
Another strain, another raggy strain
A hum and buzz just like a Pullman train stop! (stop) look! (look)
Come on and listen
That's it! (That's that) 
Don't you know what that is? 
Why, that's another rag, a raggy rag
