by Jerome Kern

“ What a pitty not to know the name of such a pretty ditty It always seems to interrupt you when you're talking, It seems to lift you from your feet and start you walking, When the cellos and the fiddles start in to fiddle that middle part Clouds, fears, sighs, tears, disappear as if by Magic. ”

“ The world goes around to the sound of a Syncopated melody, Come on take a chance and we'll dance to the Syncopated melody, Beware have a care, have a care, when you're doin' it Keep moving or you'll ruin it and just so you'll know we'll show you all the late improvements in those syncopated movements, Oh you start kind of slow till you know how to throw your shoulders in the air. ”
