That Daffydil Rag
Words and Music by Bill and Frank Mueller
Oh hear that orchestra playin’ Bill,
Yes that’s the rag they call Daffydil,
I’m just crazy bout that tune,
Say you’ll go to the nuthouse soon.
That leader’s got Philip Sousa beat
We’ll take him out and then you can treat
I’ll do anything you say
Well then ask them if they’ll play
That rag all night and day,
I’ll ask a favor Mister Leader man,
Just play that tune as strong as you can,
Chorus:
Daffy Daffy Daffydil rag,
Say kid, tell me ain’t that some drag,
Glide your lady over the floor,
Kiss her once and she’ll ask for more,
Raggy draggy oceans of joy
Look I’m floating please don’t hit a snag,
love my sister, love my brother,
Love my father, love my mother,
But oh you daffydil
Gee that’s some daffydil
Doggone that daffydil rag.
That old trombone sure is going some,
Guess that’s not the music in that snare drum,
That cornet with its toot, toot toot aint that daffydil a beaut’,
Say Mister Leader don’t you dare get tired,
If you stop that music,
You’ll sure get fired
Stick your chest out take your stand
Lead that bunch to beat the band,
That daffydil’s just grand,
I’m dying for that tune man cross my heart,
I’m itching till I hear that music start.
Chorus
