Got more troubles than I can stand Ever since ragtime has struck the land
Never saw the like in all my days Everybody's got the ragtime craze
Stood it just as long as I could At last I got it and I got it good
First I didn't want ragtime But now I'm right in line
I've got a ragtime dog and a ragtime cat A ragtime piano in my ragtime flat
Wear ragtime clothes from hat to shoes I read a paper called the ragtime news
I got ragtime habits and I talk that way I sleep in ragtime and rag all day
Got ragtime troubles with my ragtime wife I'm certainly living the ragtime life
Big prayer meetin' last Sunday morn' Hymns wearin' ragtime assures you're born
Syncopation is in every sound Clocks and watches are all running round
Cakewalk music, it feels so good I've got a ragtime habit
To the tune that fills the air You can't escape it cause it's everywhere
Once I didn't belong you see But now you can't lose me
I've got a ragtime dog and a ragtime cat I've got a ragtime dog and a ragtime cat
I've got a ragtime cat Ragtime piano in my ragtime flat
Wear ragtime clothes from hat to shoes I read a paper called the ragtime news
