[1st verse:] Do my ears deceive me or am I goin' mad? Honey, please believe me, that my hearin' ain't bad But something seems to tell me that I'm list'nin' to Rag I've been suspectin' so all night Tunes I've heard befo' was only music what ain't Melody like this is what an artist can't paint Go get me some ammonia 'cause I fear I must faint I'm suffocating with delight [Refrain:] Stop dat rag, keep on playin', honey Stop dat rag, hear me prayin', honey Run away, I feel that I must be alone But don't you dare to leave me, 'till the cows come home Cease dat strain, please repeat it, honey Once again, and I'll meet it, honey Oh, I'm sad No, I'm glad Stop dat rag, I'm sayin' I mean keep on playin' Don't you dare to stop dat rag [2nd verse:] Call in some physician, 'cause I feel that I'm ill Somehow or another, hon', my feet won't keep still Please request that leaderman to keep a-playin' till I cry enough, enough some more Hon, I'll never forgive you, just for takin' me here Take me miles and miles away from here anywhere Just raise a hand to move me, mister man, if you dare I'm satisfied to die right now
