Song language: English
Everything in America Is Ragtime |
People here are going wild |
Every woman, man and child |
Has some ragtime on the brain |
Every band and orchestra |
Playing in America |
Plays a syncopated strain |
It’s floating in the air |
You hear it everywhere |
Everything in America is ragtime |
They talk in ragtime |
It seems to be the fashion |
Their only passion is swaying to and fro |
Snapping fingers so |
Acting as though they were having a jag-time |
The U.S.A. is a land of syncopation |
It seems the nation |
Is just a million acres |
Of shoulder shakers |
Composers, just as thick as bees |
Writing raggy melodies |
They’re even making Gaby Deslys sing ragtime |
In the subway every night |
Folks start swaying left and right |
While they read the evening news |
When a baby starts to cry |
Longing for a lullaby |
Mother sings the Memphis Blues |
You can’t drive it away |
Because it’s here to stay |
