Ragtime
Lyricist:Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty
In 1902, father built a house at the crest Of the Broadview Avenue hill in New Rochelle, New York And it seemed for some years thereafter That all the family's days would be warm and fair
The skies were blue and hazy Rarely a storm, barely a chill The afternoons were lazy Everyone warm, everything still
And there was distant music Simple and somehow sublime Giving a nation, a new syncopation The people called it ragtime
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And there was distant music Skipping a beat, singing a dream A strange, insistent music Putting out heat, picking up steam
A sound of distant thunder Suddenly starting to climb It was the music of something beginning An era exploding, a century spinning
In riches and rags And in rhythm and rhyme The people called it ragtime Ragtime, ragtime, ragtime
