Look at them shufflin’, a-shufflin’ down; Ramblin’, scramblin’, a-headin’ to town,
Hustlin', bustlin’, and buzzin’ aroun’, Happily a-waitin’ at the station.
Look at the train, the number seven-o-nine, Huffin’ and puffin’ and arrivin’ on time.
Who do you think’s about to 'rive? The band they call “The Dixieland Five.”
They’re gonna play that Muskrat Ramble tune,
The way you never ever heard it played, Get ready for the big parade.
All together now, one and two come on and join the happy throng,
Feel the beat of that ramblin', scramblin’, muskrat song, Come on and ramble along.
