• 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.
