The tab
4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend< = slide in
In a cer-tain ci-ty,
where the girls are cute and pret-ty,
they have a rag-gy jaz-zy jazz-time tune.
When you hear that syn-co-pat-ed
Jazz cre-a-ted mel-o-dy
you could dance all morn-ing night and noon,
When the slide trom-bone
and moan-ing sax-o-phone be-gin to play.
It will make you sad, 'twill make you glad
Oh! Boy, What Joy, Burn my clothes
for I'm in Heav-en,
Wish I had a mil-lion wo-men,
Sol-o-man in all his glo-ry,
could have told an-oth-er sto-ry,
Were he but liv-ing here to-day,
With his thou-sand wives or more,
a Jazz-Band on some E-gypt shore,
he could dance the night and day a-way.
I will tell you how they dance
That tant-a-liz-ing 12th. Street Rag.
Chorus
First you slide and then you glide,
then shim-mie for a while;
To the left then to the right
"Lame Duck" "Get o-ver Sal"
Watch your step then Pi-rou-ette,
Fox Trot, then squeeze your pal
O-ver you comes steal-ing
such a fun-ny feel-ing
'till you feel your sen-ses reel-ing,
tant-a-liz-ing, hyp-no-tiz-ing,
mes-mer-iz-ing strain,
I can't get e-nough of it
please play it o'er a-gain;
I could dance for ev-er to this re-frain,
To that 12th. Street,
Oh you 12th. Street Rag.
