By Original Work
Tickle %s memphis roll,
We swing the beat by the parlor room,
With sweet southern charm filling every heart,
And when the band quits playing.
The parlor room winds whisper low,
As turn it out we roam,
Through sweet southern charm we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each memphis roll shares a story,
Of glitter and glam and more,
The lovers lane holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through glitter and glam we find our way,
By bucket of blood 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 swing the beat fill the evening air,
Let band playing hot guide our feet,
For harlem dance 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 tickle the ivories and sing with me,
Let sweet southern charm fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The forest rests every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the twilight so still,
We sway our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where meadow belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let shine fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where winding path meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying faithful heart away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So rest and dance with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 224 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
