HymnDoing the Latest Rag

God lift me up in mighty waters
Keep my eyes on things above
Righteousness divine atonement
Peace and everlasting love
Ladies and gentlemen
Everyone up and out
Follow the band and shout
Isnt this a lovely day yes
Watching all the ladies in Parisian fashions
On display
Young mister hartley
Is playing quite smartly
In rhythm that could never lag
Its a musical treat
To hear a band with a beat
Performing their latest rag
How do you do my friends
So good to see you once more
How long since we first met
Has it been three days or four
It seems like so much longer
Than a little weekend jag
On the ship by ourselves
On this glorious afternoon
Doing the latest rag
I love the cool of the breeze
Feel the rhythm of the song in your knees
Promenading along at your ease
Like a feather in the air
It that a hint of a chill
When youre dancing out of doors its a thrill
Keeps you hardy and healthier still
Take a partner if you dare
Everyone is bursting with emotion
Dancing as we cross the mighty ocean
Moing to then rhythm of
The latest rag
Come on and
Dance with me please dance
Feel the rhythm
Of the song in your knees the latest rag
Promenading along
At your ease ragtime
Like a feather in the air
It that a
Hint of a chill dance
When youre dancing
Out of doors the latest rag
Its a thrill
Keeps you hardy and
Healthier still ragtime
Take a partner if you dare
Out on the well deck
Ships personnel deck
Feel all the ocean spray
Get yourself upon
The upper hotel deck
Oh what a swell deck
Great for your dejeuner
Turn the corner on
The port parallel deck port
Its la plus belle deck
All of the rest passe
Now the band is betting
The ragtime setting
Will take you away
Everyone up and out
Nobody lag about
Let your darker spirits climb
Strolling with the orchestra beside you
Playing four four time
Weve got a fellow
Whos better on the cello
Than any other ship can brag
So take your gilet by the hand
And lend an ear to the band
And do todays latest rag
Come dancing
Out on the well deck out
Ships personnel deck
