The Ragtime Dance
Let me see you do the ragtime dance
Turn around and do a lovely prance
Turn the other way and do a slow drag
Circle round your whole but keep your distance while doing the ragtime dance
Step light and show the ladies your best
Look right and keep ahead of the rest
Keep up speed, take a leap, this is your only chance
Now sway and keep on step as you climb
Don't stray or you could fall out of time
You could loose your heart to a ragtime dance
Everybody sing "cake walk" soft and sweetly
Be sure your steps done neatly
Keep up a slow advance
'twill put you in a trance
Now form a line as you did before
Change partners but don't leave the floor
'Cause the only real thing is the ragtime dance
Who can dance it best?
Put it to the test
Everbody
Don't be late for dinner, it's a ragtime dance
Turn around and do a lovely prance
Turn the other way and do a slow drag
Circle round your whole but keep your distance while doing the ragtime dance
Step light and show the ladies your best
Look right and keep ahead of the rest
Keep up speed, take a leap, this is your only chance
Now sway and keep on step as you climb
Don't stray or you could fall out of time
You could loose your heart to a ragtime dance
Everybody sing "cake walk" soft and sweetly
Be sure your steps done neatly
Keep up a slow advance
'twill put you in a trance
Now form a line as you did before
Change partners but don't leave the floor
'Cause the only real thing is the ragtime dance
Who can dance it best?
Put it to the test
Everbody
Don't be late for dinner, it's a ragtime dance
