Muskrat Ramble Lyrics - Strike Up The Band/creole Cookin - Bobby Hackett

Hey now, heh! 

What's the reason for this celebration? 

Man, ya look at all those people there 

Hanging round this station 

Say, what's the big event? 

An essential train is coming 

On track number one 

Well, it's got to be the Pittzburg Pirates 

No, it's more important, son 

Is it the President? 

No no no no 

Brigitte Bardot? 

No no no no 

Then tell me who's about to arrive? 

Ee-hee! 

There he is now, Satch-a-mo and The Dixieland Five 

Oh, look at them shuffling, shuffling down 

A-rambling, scrambling over the town 

Hustling, bustling, buzzing around 

Never saw a bigger celebration 

Oh, look at the train, a number seven-o-nine 

Just a hugging and a-puffing 

And arriving on time 

Changing the town from dead to alive 

Satchmo and His Five 

We're gonna play that Muskrat Ramble tune 

And Mr Bing, the moment that it's played 

You lead us on the big parade 

Altogether now, one and two 

Join the happy throng 

Everyone start mushing, swinging the Muskrat song 

We'll be singing along 

Oh, Mr Bing, when you sing, that's the thing we do enjoy 

Well, Mr A, when you play, Gabriel say, Who that for? 

Everybody's walking, talking 

That Muskrat song 

While we amble that Muskrat Ramble 

While we amble along 

Oh, that's the best parade I ever been on, Satch! 

Natch! You are in New Orleans! 

While we amble along
