Lyrics

Lyrics:
First verse
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
Ev'rybody's doin' it, Doin' it, doin' it, Ev'rybody's doin' it, Doin' it, doin' it, See that ragtime couple over there, Watch them throw their shoulders in the air, Snap their fingers, Honey, I declare, It's a bear, it's a bear, it's a bear. There! Ev'rybody's doin' it, Doin' it, doin' it, Ev'rybody'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, Ev'rybody's doin' it now. Ev'rybody's doin' it, Doin' it, doin' it, Ev'rybody's doin' it, Doin' it, doin' it, See that ragtime couple over there, Watch them throw their shoulders in the air, Snap their fingers, Honey, I declare, It's a bear, it's a bear, it's a bear. There! Ev'rybody's doin' it, Doin' it, doin' it, Ev'rybody'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, Ev'rybody's doin' it now.
Second verse
Baby, baby, get a stool, Maybe, maybe I'm a fool; Honey, don't you smile, Let us rest awhile, 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.
(Chorus)
