Lyrics
Chorus
The Junkman Rag old Peter called it
The Junkman Rag
‘Cause it’s a honky a tonky drag
Now honest truly
The dance is bound to win you
Puts a lot of ginger in you
Junkman Rag will make a preacher a sway and swag
The tune’s a dandy
And ev’ry Ragtime tango couple
Hug like a bear and won’t unbuckle
When old Pete starts a playing that Rag so sweet
Ev’rybody is on their feet
The Turkey trotters glide, slide
Up to their partner’s side
To that melody that’s loaded down with harmony
Believe me I’m wild about that Junkman Rag
Performance
