Sleeping by the roadside
"Wake up" he heard this voice cry
It woke him from a deep sleep
The first one for a whole week
This voice he heard her calling
"Ragtime's here, good morning"
Wait a minute boy, just hold on there
You with a beard and the curly long hair
What do you mean "Ragtime's here"?
It's Student's Ragday once a year
So get up, come on, let's have some fun
It's ragtime roll for everyone
From what do you roll with a weather friend
Who's had no sleep for a week on end?
Cos everybody's invited too
A collageful, especially you
So get up, come on, let's have some fun
It's ragtime roll for everyone
I said now ragtime roll
Ragtime roll
Ragtime roll
So get up, come on, let's have some fun
It's ragtime roll for everyone
Well just lead the way and I'll follow you
You say already that you know who
Lots and-a lots of shorter breed
Now come over friend and just follow me
So get up, come on, let's have some fun
It's ragtime roll for everyone
I said now ragtime roll
Yeah ragtime roll
Ragtime roll
Ragtime roll
I said the ragtime roll
Ragtime roll
Everybody gonna Rock and Roll
So get up, come on, let's have some fun
It's ragtime roll for everyone
Well thank you boy for your kind thought
I like your long hair, big and soft
So I'll be left with a great big smile
Singing "Ragtime, ragtime back in style"
So get up, come on, let's have some fun
It's ragtime roll for everyone
I said now ragtime roll
Yeah ragtime roll
Ragtime roll
Come on everybody, let's-a Rock and Roll
Ragtime roll
I said the ragtime roll
Ragtime roll
Everybody gonna Rock and Roll
