Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- When you’re feeling blue
And have nothing else to do
I will take you where
Music fills the air
It’s way down in Tinkle Town
Land of Harmony
You can’t go wrong, just join the throng
And come along with me, Gee!
Chorus
Come on down, come on down to Tinkle Town
There’s a leader man named Ephraham
Jazzing all around, Say!
When he starts to harmonizing some Blue Ditty
You’ll just prance and sway
And soon we’ll see some Strutters stepping pretty
Dancing all your cares away, “Hey”
Take my tip, take a trip, don’t be a clown
So “Hear” “Ye” one and all
We’re gonna Cootie ’till the Dewdrops fall
So come on down to Tinkle Town
- Take the jazz express
To the land of happiness
All aboard let’s go
Hurry don’t be slow
Grab your honey by the arm
Come along with me
They’ll play the Blues, you can’t refuse
That’s full of melody, Gee!
Chorus
Come on down, come on down to Tinkle Town
You will see the couples young and old
Doing things up brown, Say
While the ragtime band is playing soft and mellow
We’ll glide nice and slow
And then you’ll see each Flapper with her fellow
Gliding on to Buffalo, “Oh”
Take your gal, or your pal
Don’t wear a frown, just get your habits on
Stop hesitatin’ cause we’ll soon be gone
So come on down to Tinkle Town
