A song from the Ziegfeld Follies of 1919.
Words and music by Irving Berlin.
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Now that your drinking days are thru
Come along with me
I’ve got a brand new jag for you
It’s a melody, syncopated music
Goes right to your head
I’d like to treat you to a cocktail
Before you go to bed, so
Refrain
Come along, oh! come along
And have a syncopated cocktail
Come along, oh! come along with me
You’ll find that anyone, can get a bun
On a jazzy melody
Never mind your cocktail shakers
Just shake your lingerie (your shimmies)
Come along and hum a song
That’s bound to make you kind of dizzy
Get a jag, upon a raggy melody
They’re fascinating, intoxicating
Come along and have a syncopated cocktail with me
Sung here by Vancha March:
