[1st verse:]
|
Ev'ryone was singing, dancing, springing
|
At a wedding yesterday
|
Yiddle on his fiddle played some ragtime
|
And when Sadie heard him play
|
She jumped up and looked him in the eyes
|
Yiddle swelled his chest 'way out
|
Ev'ryone was taken by surprise
|
When they heard Sadie shout
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Yiddle in the middle of your fiddle, play some ragtime
|
Get busy
|
I'm dizzy
|
I'm feeling two years young
|
Mine choc'late baby, if you'll maybe play for Sadie
|
Some more ragtime
|
Yiddle, don't you stop, if you do, I'll drop
|
For I just can't make my eyes shut up
|
Yiddle on your fiddle, play some ragtime
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
At the supper table Sadie thought
|
Yiddle must have flew the coop
|
She looked all around, but could not find him
|
'Till she heard him drinking soup
|
Sadie waited till they served the fish
|
Then she jumped upon the floor
|
Put a quarter right on Yiddle's dish
|
And yelled to him once more
|
