Viewing Lyrics for International Rag The 12 Aug 1913:
| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | International Rag The 12 Aug 1913 | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 6 | | | | Lyrics: | 1st verse:]
What did you do, America?
They're after you, America
You got excited and
you started something
Nations jumping all around
You've got a lot to answer for
They
lay the blame right at your door
The world is ragtime crazy from shore to
shore
[chorus:]
London dropped its dignity
So has France and Germany
All
hands are dancing to a raggedy melody
Full of originality
The folks who live in sunny
Spain
Dance to a strain
That they call the Spanish Tango
Dukes and Lords and Russian
Czars
Men who own their motor cars
Throw up their shoulders to that raggedy
melody
Full of originality
Italian opera singers have learned to snap their
fingers
The world goes 'round to the sound of the International Rag
[2nd
verse:]
In every land, America
Most every band, America
Has started everybody dancing
daily
Prancing gaily all around
There's syncopation in the air
They've got the fever
everywhere
Each happy, snappy chappy cries "It's a bear | | | |
