Honey, honey, can't you hear?
Funny, funny music, dear
Ain't the funny strain goin' to your brain?
Like a bottle of wine, fine
Hon', hon', hon', hon', take a chance
One, one one, one little dance
Can't you see them all swaying up the hall?
Let's be gettin' in line
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
See that ragtime couple over there
Watch them throw their shoulders in the air
Snap their fingers, honey, I declare
It's a bear, it's a bear, it's a bear, there!
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Ain't that music touchin' your heart?
Hear that trombone bustin' apart?
Come, come, come, come, let us start
Ev'ry body's doin' it now
Baby, baby, can't you hear?
Funny, funny music, dear
Honey, don't you smile, let us rest awhile
I'm so weak in the chest, rest
Go, go, go, go get a chair
No, no, no, no, leave it there
Honey, if the mob still are on the job
I'm as strong as the rest
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
See that ragtime couple over there
Watch them throw their shoulders in the air
Snap their fingers, honey, I declare
It's a bear, it's a bear, it's a bear, there!
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Ain't that music touchin' your heart?
Hear that trombone bustin' apart?
Come, come, come, come, let us start
Ev'ry body's doin' it now
