The Wrong Note Rag by Leonard Bernstein Lyrics
[RUTH AND EILEEN]
Oh, there's a new sensation that is goin' aroun'
Goin' aroun', goin' aroun', goin' aroun
A simple little ditty that is sweepin' the town
Sweepin' the town, sweepin' the town
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
They call it the Wrong Note Rag!
It's got a little twist that simply drives you insane
Drives you insane, drives you insane, drives you insane
Because you find you never get it out of your brain
Out of your brain, out of your brain
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
They call it the Wrong Note Rag!
[VILLAGERS]
Bunny hug! Turkey trot! Gimme the Wrong Note Rag!
[RUTH AND EILEEN]
Please play that lovely wrong note
Because that wrong note
Just makes me doo doo da doo doo doo da doo wah wah
That note is such a strong note
It makes me
[EILEEN]
Ricky ricky tick ricky ricky tick tacky
[RUTH]
Wick wicky wick wick wicky wick wacky
[EILEEN AND RUTH]
Don't play that right polite note
Because that right note
Just makes me blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
No, no, give me that new and blue note
And sister watch my dust, watch my smoke
Doin' the Wrong Note Rag
(Instrumental break)
[VILLAGERS]
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
They call it the Wrong Note Rag!
Oh, there's a new sensation that is goin' aroun'
Goin' aroun', goin' aroun', goin' aroun
A simple little ditty that is sweepin' the town
Sweepin' the town, sweepin' the town
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
They call it the Wrong Note Rag!
It's got a little twist that simply drives you insane
Drives you insane, drives you insane, drives you insane
Because you find you never get it out of your brain
Out of your brain, out of your brain
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
They call it the Wrong Note Rag!
