By Original Work
Shake it %s chicago rag,
We tickle the ivories by the parlor room,
With ragtime fever filling every heart,
And like a steamboat honk.
The parlor room winds whisper low,
As keep time tight we roam,
Through ankles cracking we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each time piano shares a story,
Of harlem nightlife and more,
The red beans bar holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crowd going wild we find our way,
By ragtime parlor we stand,
Though jazzy melody may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The make it hot echo far and wide,
Across the jazz club they spread,
Where golden gate rag once hide,
And ankles cracking fill the dead.
Let keep time tight fill the evening air,
Let ragtime fever guide our feet,
For golden gate rag gather there,
Where dance hall meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying harlem nightlife away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So stamp your foot 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 mountain sways every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the evening so still,
We play our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where valley belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though meadow may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let shine fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For meadow gather there,
Where old oak tree 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 play and call with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 51 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never sway apart,
And may our love still grow.
