"Alexanders's Ragtime Band" ist ein sehr populärer
Schlager des "Pseudo-Dixieland" (so steht es im Reclam's Jazz-Lexikon). Die Melodie ist sehr eingängig - die Melodie verbreitete sich so
rasch, dass Irving Berlin fälschlicherweise als Ragtime-König gefeiert
wurde...
Alexander's Ragtime Band
Come on and
hear, come on and hear,
Alexander's Ragtime Band!
Come on and hear, come on and hear,
It's the best band in the land!
Oh, you can play a bugle call like
I never heard before?
So natural that you'll wanna go to war!
It’s just the bestest band what am, Honey lamb!
Come on along, come on along,
Let me take you by the hand,
To the man, to the man,
Who is the leader of the band.
And if you wonna hear that Swanee River played
in ragtime!
Come on and hear, come on and hear
Alexander's Ragtime Band!
