Lyrics
Chorus
Oh, Ragtime caveman of mine
Stone age, syncopator divine
And when he loves, he holds you tight
And when he gives a kiss he gives it right
Oh, Weird moaning “Pipes o’ Pan”
Have nothing on my primitive man
You can’t resist his sweet harmony
He’ll knock you stiff with a rag melody
When you hear him, you draw near him
Ragtime cave man of mine
Chorus
Oh, Ragtime caveman of mine
Stone age, syncopator divine
And when he loves, he holds you tight
And when he gives a kiss he gives it right
Oh, Weird moaning “Pipes o’ Pan”
Have nothing on my primitive man
When he starts playing his farewell tune
And says goodnight dear then I start to moan
If you leave me, it will grieve me
Ragtime cave man of mine
