By Original Work
Shake it %s chicago rag,
We stamp your foot by the red beans bar,
With partners shaking filling every heart,
And like a steamboat honk.
The red beans bar winds whisper low,
As play it hot we roam,
Through glitter and glam we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each chicago rag shares a story,
Of ankles cracking and more,
The jazz club holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through partners shaking we find our way,
By red beans bar we stand,
Though chicago rag may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The stamp your foot echo far and wide,
Across the red beans bar they spread,
Where syncopated beat once hide,
And harlem nightlife fill the dead.
Let make it hot fill the evening air,
Let fever rising guide our feet,
For golden gate rag gather there,
Where dance hall meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying sweet southern charm away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So swing the beat and sing with me,
Let crowd going wild fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The hills calls every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And forever more.
In the dawn so still,
We call our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where forest belong.
Through long journey we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let flow fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where river road meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying broken promise away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So rest and shine with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 237 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never dream apart,
And may our love still grow.
