Verse:

Man -do -lins, vi -o -lins,
Ev -'ry bod -y's tun -in' up, the fun be -gins,
Come this way, Don't de -lay,
Bet -ter hur -ry hon -ey dear, or you'll be miss -in'
Mu -sic sweet, rag -time treat,
Goes right to your head and trick -les to your feet,
It's a re -mind -er, a mem -o -ry find -er of
nights down in old Al -a bam'

 

Chorus:

You ought to see Mis -ter Jones when he rat -tles the bones,
Old Colo -nel Brown fool -in' 'round like a clown,
Miss Vir -gin -ia who is past eight -y three,
Shout -in "I'm full o' pep! Watch yo' step, watch yo' step!"
One leg -ged Joe danced a -roun' on his toe,
Threw a -way his crutch and hol -lered,"Let 'er go!" Oh, hon -ey,
Hail! Hail! the gang's all here for an
Al -a -ba -ma Jub -i -lee.
