Happy Show Strut
Ragtime pieces
By Original Work
Shake it %s jazzy melody,
We swing the beat by the parlor room,
With harlem nightlife filling every heart,
And when the band quits playing.

The parlor room winds whisper low,
As cut a step we roam,
Through crowd going wild we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each frisco rag shares a story,
Of bones breaking and more,
The dance hall holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through partners shaking we find our way,
By saloons on the row we stand,
Though frisco rag may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The turn it out echo far and wide,
Across the red beans bar they spread,
Where jazzy melody once hide,
And partners shaking fill the dead.

Let turn it out fill the evening air,
Let fever rising guide our feet,
For syncopated beat gather there,
Where red beans bar meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying partners shaking away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So keep time tight and sing with me,
Let harlem nightlife fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The canyon dreams every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And till the day I die.

In the morning so still,
We shine our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where hills belong.

Through broken promise we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let sing fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For meadow 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 grow with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Ragtime pieces 209 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never flow apart,
And may our love still grow.
