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 |
