Can you imagine the kind of beat
Ever so popular long before rock?
It made your heart feel as good as your feet
So for a while we'll be turning back the clock
If you remember the way they'd dance
They didn't need those electric guitars
They liked a lyric and tune
Combining "moon", "June" and "spoon"
That sort of dance never left any scars
So come along with us and sing a song with us
The kind that has a real good old-time, ragtime beat, it's very neat
You'll hear them syncopate, it's time to celebrate
Hey, Mr. Keyboard Man, play something sweet
For those who like it hot, there is a man called Scott
You'll find his keyboard style just entertained
With ragtime chords and wild refrains
And that's the way we like to hear it today
That kind of music makes you smile
ย
So now you know why we made this trip
Back to the days of hot ragtime and jazz
'Cause it's the scene where you're really hip
'Cause the rhythm of life is what it has
People hear it and all agree
That Mr. Joplin's got humor and style
And in each piano roll, you'll find the essence of soul
It's got rock and roll beat by a mile
It's got rock and roll beat by a mile
