Lyrics
Chorus
Start her up, start her up
Start her up, start her up
And get aboard the raggy rag time train
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
You’ll never get the happy chance again
Don’t you ever dare to get left behind
If you should miss it, oh, you’ll surely find
That you have lost the best chance of your life
Hear the bell, hear the bell
Hear the bell, hear the bell
Just listen to it ringing once again
Don’t you stop, don’t you stop
Don’t you stop, don’t you stop
And don’t you ever dare to miss that train
You’ll never want to go home again
When you’re dancing to that raggy refrain
Oh say, you’ll sway aboard the ragtime train
Performance
