歌詞
There's a man I know, he ain't got much dough, but he plays that ragtime song
When he walks down the street, pickin' that beat, everyone wants to tag along
He played his tune in my baby's ear and she walked right away from me
Now I'm singin' the ragtime blues 'cause I love her don't you see
He's the Ragtime King, he knows how to swing and he knows how to play his guitar
But if he wants to be a friend of mine, you know he won't get far
I ain't got nothin' against the guy, nothin' personally
He may be good, he may be fine but he stole my baby from me
When you walk down the street all the people you meet, they all say you're really going to go far
But if you're planning on taking my baby along, you better stay right where you are
'Cause I love the girl more than I love the world, to let her go I just can't see
You may be good, you may be fine but don't steal my baby from me
He's the Ragtime King, he knows how to swing and he knows how to play his guitar
But if he wants to be a friend of mine, you know he won't get far
I ain't got nothin' against the guy, nothin' personally
He may be good, he may be fine but he stole my baby from me
The ragtime man has a ragtime band, he can take it straight to hell
I know she loves me by the way she does me, at least she used to do me well
Now the times have changed and I feel so strange when I hear that ragtime song
It's up to fate, I guess I'll have to wait 'till another comes along
He's the Ragtime King, he knows how to swing and he knows how to play his guitar
But if he wants to be a friend of mine, you know he won't get far
I ain't got nothin' against the guy, nothin' personally
He may be good, he may be fine but he stole my baby from me
