Ain't it funny : that easy, squeezin', teasy, pleasin', ragtime / words by Geo. A. Norton music by Theron C. Bennett

VERSE 01: Won't you listen, honey dear,/ There is something wrong, I fear,/ I sure am ailin',/ my health is failin',/ And I feel so mighty queer./ When I hear sweet music strains,/ Why they seem to grip my brain;/ My feet go draggin',/ I must start raggin',/ Or else I'd go insane.
CHORUS: Ain't it funny, oh, my honey!/ That music sets me prancin'./ Lead me to it,/ Let me do it,/ 'Cause I could die a-dancin'./ I must rag it,/ Wiggle wag it,/ No movement so entrancin'/ As that eazy squeezin',/ teasin', pleasin' Ragtime.
VERSE 02: I'll go daffy pretty soon,/ 'Cause at morning, night, or noon,/ My brain is hazy,/ my heart goes crazy,/ When I hear a ragtime tune./ And I never miss no chance,/ For that ever lovin' prance;/ With senses reelin',/ it soothes my feelin's/ To do that shufflin' dance
