Summary

by Euday L. Bowman,  12th Street Rag (1919)

“ Over you comes stealing such a funny feeling
'till you feel your senses reeling,
tantalizing, hypnotizing, mesmerizing strain,
I can't get enough of it please play it o'er again;
I could dance forever to this refrain,
To that 12th. Street, Oh you 12th. Street Rag.
VERSE 2
Jazztime music is the rage, this is a syncopated age,
ev'rybody loves a jazztime tune.
For the music captivating, sets your heart a palpitating
you just can't make your feet behave,
Ancient youths of sixty four, do steps they never did before,
Father time is mad, no one grows old.
