Lyrics:
Honey, honey can't you hear,
Funny, funny music, dear?
Ain't the funny strain
Goin' to your brain?
Like a bottle of wine, fine,
Hon', hon', hon', hon', take a chance,
One, one, one, one little dance;
Can't you see them all swaying up the hall?
Let's be gettin' in line.
chorus:
Everybody's doin' it,
Doin' it, doin' it,
Everybody's doin' it,
Doin' it, doin' it,
See that ragtime couple over there,
Watch them through their shoulders in the air,
Snap their fingers, Honey, I declare,
It's a bear, it's a bear, it's a bear. There!
Everybody's doin' it,
Doin' it, doin' it,
Everybody's doin' it,
Doin' it, doin' it,
Ain't that music touching your heart?
Hear that trombone bustin' apart?
Come, come, come, come let us start,
Everybody's doin' it now.
Baby, baby, get a stool,
Maybe, maybe I'm a fool;
Honey, don't you smile,
Let us rest a while,
I'm so weak in the chest, best,
Go, go, go, go get a chair,
No, no, no, no, leave it there;
Honey, if the mob still are on the job,
I'm as strong as the rest.
