Lyrics

1. Have you heard about the swell reception?
It will be the best without exception
And it’s given by the musical people in town
From all around
You and I received an invitation
To be present at the big sensation
Can’t you see my honey how happy we’ll be
Just you and me
Let me take you to that ball
In the beautiful harmony hall

Chorus
Come, come, come to the beautiful ragtime ball
I’m ready, I’m ready, can’t you see?
Lead me to that wonderful harmony
Dance, dance, dance in the wonderful ragtime hall
When we’re thirsty let us stroll
Over to the old punch bowl, how refreshing
Oh, Oh, that syncopation is divine
Play it again, play it again, play it again
Oh, Oh, that hesitation is sublime
Do it again, do it again, do it again
We’ll hear a funny singer sing a funny little song
We’ll have the finest dinner
Bring your appetite along
Come, come, come to the beautiful ragtime ball

2. We will dance the latest hesitation
We will do a dance of every nation
Then we’ll tango and go gliding all over the floor
And shout for more
When the band begins to play a two-step
I will show you how to do some new step
Mister Vernon Castle is jealous of me
That what he be
If they let the music play
We will dance till the break of the day
