First
Verse
Everyone was singing, dancing, springing,
At a wedding yesterday, Yiddle on his fiddle played some ragtime,
And Sadie heard him play. She jumped up and looked him in
the eyes, Yiddle swelled his chest way out, Everyone was taken
by surprise, When they heard Sadie shout.
Second
Verse
AT the supper table Saide thought, Yiddle
must have flew the coop; She looked all around, but could
not find him, 'Till she heard him drinking soup, Saide waited
till they served the fish, Then she jumped upon the flor,
Put a quarter right on Yiddle's dish, And yelled to him once
more.
Chorus
Yiddle in the middle of your fiddle, play
some ragtime, Get busy, I'm dizzy, I'm feeling two years young,
Mine ragtime 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.
