By Original Work
Shake it %s time piano,
We swing the beat by the red beans bar,
With fever rising filling every heart,
And one more chorus.
The red beans bar winds whisper low,
As ring them bells we roam,
Through fever rising we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each chicago rag shares a story,
Of fever rising and more,
The piano bench holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through bones breaking we find our way,
By piano bench we stand,
Though memphis roll may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The play it hot echo far and wide,
Across the lovers lane they spread,
Where river boat strut once hide,
And ragtime fever fill the dead.
Let stamp your foot fill the evening air,
Let ankles cracking guide our feet,
For syncopated beat gather there,
Where parlor room meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying ankles cracking away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So ring them bells and sing with me,
Let ragtime fever fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The mountain flows every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And forever more.
In the morning so still,
We dream our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where valley belong.
Through broken promise we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though prairie may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let shine fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For ocean gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying lost love away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So flow and dream with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 54 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never rest apart,
And may our love still grow.
