Berlin Irving Miscellaneous Alexander's Bag-Pipe Band (10 Feb 1912) ["Words and music by E. Ray Goetz, Irving Berlin and A. Baldwin Sloane".] [1st verse:] Last week when Alexander McIntosh Returned from a trip to Yankee Land He got a half a dozen pipers with their bag-pipes And organized a band He brought back with him a Yankee tune That was written all about a coon Now he's playing it Crowds hurraying it Because he plays it grand You understand You understand That's it a bag-pipe rag-pipe band [chorus:] Come on and hear the bag-pipes raggin' up a tune In Alexander's bag-pipe band Come on and see McPherson acting like a coon In Alexander's bag-pipe band Sandy McGregor is a ragtime Scot Come see him do the Hieland Turkey Trot The only ragtime Scotchman in the land Come on and see the lassies kicking up their kilties When they do a ragtime fling Come on and hear the pipers play a Scottish rag And hear the crowds begin to sing Should auld acquaintance be forgot on the Swanee River Come on along and take your lassie by the hand To Alexander's bag-pipe band [2nd verse:] Ragtime was never meant for Scotchmen Just the same, Mister Alexander knows Just how to play it till you feel as if a highball Was going to your toes Come and hear the lassies all declare Hoot man, Sandy, it's a Hielan' Bear On the heather They dance together With a Yankee Ragtime air Come on along Come on along You'll see the Scotch Bonbuddy's there |
