Alexander's Ragtime Band
Swinging to Freedom: Unveiling the Soulful Tale of Alexander's Ragtime Band
Lyrics
Come on and hear, come on and hear
Invitation to listen and pay attention
Alexander's Ragtime Band
Reference to Alexander's band playing ragtime music
Come on and hear, come on and hear
Reiteration of the invitation to listen
It's the best band in the land
Declaring it as the finest band around
They can play a bugle call
Ability to perform a bugle call skillfully
Like you never heard before
Describing the bugle call as unique or exceptional
So natural that you want to go to war
The naturalness of the performance encourages action
That's just the bestest band what am, Honey Lamb
Expressing admiration for the band's excellence
Come on along, come on along
Invitation to join and follow
Let me take you by the hand
Offer to guide someone
Up to the man, up to the man
Directing towards the band's leader
Who's the leader of the band
Identifying the leader of the band
And if you want to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime
Suggesting the band's capability to play different styles
Come on and hear, come on and hear
Repetition of the invitation to listen
Alexander's Ragtime Band
Restatement of the band's name and music style
