Dixie Made Us Jazz Band Mad lyrics

Dixieland, you`ve done it now!
Hypnotized the world, and how!
With your raggy syncopation,
You`ve captured every nation;
Dixieland, you`ve set them wild,
But they are pleased;
They`re ravin`, they`re cravin`
For your melody!

Dixie filled the whole wide world with rag;
Oh! Dixie gave the world a jazzy jag.
Even kids just two or three,
How they love a jazzy melody!
Keep a-hooferin`! Keep a-hooferin`!
On land and sea!

Since those old southern tunes are such a fad,
Classic music seems to be in bad;
And pretty soon we`re gonna hear Carus
Try to sing the Memphis Blues,
`Cause Dixie made us jazz band mad!

Dixie filled the whole wide world with rag;
Dixie gave the world a jazzy jag.
Why, take a look! Little kids! Just two or three!
Oh, how they love a jazzy melody!
Keep a-hooferin`! Keep a hooferin`!
On land and sea!

And since those southern tunes are such a fad,
Classic music seems to be in bad;
We`ll see McCormack, in the hall,
Try to sing that Strutters Ball,
Oh, Dixie made us jazz band mad!
