Lyrics
Chorus:
I get so all muddled up
Whenever I attempt to syncopate
I get excited a-tryin’ to count
’Til every note I seem to hate
I muddle too when I am dancing
Fall all over the floor
Trying to do steps that are new
But I never quit, I always yell for more
It has me puzzled to figure out
The raggy time they write today
But syncopation just hypnotizes me
So I just pound away
Mother and dad say I’m a nuisance
For when I rag that old piano
I get ’em going for I get muddled up
In every rag I play
Performance
