<br>

[Mingo, Moose and Sam]<br>

The real American folk song is a rag, <br>

A mental jag <br>

A rhythmic tonic for the chronic blues <br>

The critics called it a joke song <br>

But now <br>

They've changed their tune <br>

And they like it somehow <br>

For it's inoculated <br>

With a synopated sort of meter, <br>

Sweeter <br>

Than a classic strain <br>

Boy! You can't remain <br>

Still and quiet <br>

For it's a riot! <br>

The real American folk song <br>

Is like a fountain of youth; <br>

You taste, <br>

And it elates you. <br>

And then, invigorates you. <br>

The real American folk song, <br>

Master stroke song, <br>

Is a rag. <br>

The real American folk song <br>

Is like the fountain of youth; <br>

You taste, <br>

And it elates you, <br>

And then, invigorates you. <br>

The real American folk song -- <br>

<br>

[Mingo, Moose and Sam]<br>

Yippie Yi-Yoh Ki-Yay Ki-Yoh! <br>

<br>

[The Company]<br>

The real American folk song -- <br>

<br>

[Mingo, Moose and Sam]<br>

Hoodle-lee hoo-day-ee hoodle-ee-hoo-day-ee-oh! <br>

<br>

[The Company]<br>

The real American folk song <br>

Is a rag. <br>

What a rag!!<br>
