Lyrics
Chorus
It’s that epidemic rag
That contagious melody
That delirious drag
That makes you dance, makes you prance
In a feverish trance
It’s raging, that raving ragtime
Oh! Doctor joyous convulsions of melodious pain
Oh, spasms of ecstasy come get me again
I’m passing away, let me swoon
To the tune of that strain
(Oh! lawdy come and get me)
Oh that epidemic rag
Performance
