That Mysterious Rag 31 Aug 1911 - Irving Berlin



1st verse:]

Did you hear it? Were you near it?

If you weren't then you've yet to fear it

Once you've met it you'll regret it

Just because you never will forget it

If you ever wake up from your dreaming

A-scheming, eyes gleaming

Then if suddenly you take a screaming fit

That's it!



[chorus:]

That mysterious ra-ag

While awake or while you're a-slumbering

You're saying, keep playing

That mysterious dra-ag

Are you listenin'?

Are you listenin'?

Look! Look!

You're whistlin'

That mysterious ra-ag

Sneaky, freaky ever melodious, mysterious rag



[2nd verse:]

Any minute they begin it

E'er you know what you're about, you're in it

Then a feeling, most appealing

Comes a-stealing, sets your brain a-reeling

When it's too late and ev'ryone is yawning

Good morning, day dawning

Then if suddenly you hear a warning shout

Look out
