Lyrics

  1. Honey ain’t you glad you’re here
    It’s the best affair this year
    As a bracer and gloom chaser
    I hope you like it, dear
    Everybody is on hand
    The entertainment is grand
    But, dear, you said it, let’s give credit
    To the syncopated band

Chorus:
Stop! Look! Listen to the music of the band
Stop! Look! Listen ain’t the piano-man grand
Watch the fellow playin’ on the violin
See the way he tucks it underneath his chin
Listen to the trombone groanin’
While the saxophone is moanin’
Oh! Joy! Listen to the jazzy clarinet
Some boy, raggin’ the old cornet
Listen to the fellow with the big bass drum
Go rum tiddledy um tum um tum tum
Stop! Look! Listen to the music
Some band

  1. Honey, don’t you think it’s great
    Everything is up to date
    Come on honey, I’ve got money
    So let us celebrate
    They’ve got ice cold lemonade
    And sandwiches all ready made
    So I repeat it, you can’t beat it
    For the money that we paid
