[Verse 1]
My sweetie, come with me to Washington,D.C.
That's where they've got the only ragtime novelty,
I'll show you how it's done, for lesson number one,
Just waddle all around until you weigh a ton.

Get the tune in your noodle,
That's the Washington waddle
Let your feet have lots of fun.

[Chorus]
Waddle along, just waddle along
From side to side my honey you can't go wrong,
Get in your stride now
right from the start
waddle your way to my heart,

Let's waddle your feet are free
keep a-rocking with glee,
Like a ragtime ship upon a ragtime sea
Waddle Waddle Come on and toddle,
do the Washington waddle with me.

[Verse 2]
Ragtime is on the wane, but when I hear that strain,
My heart goes waddling up in a rag aeroplane,
Let's go awaddling down to see old Parson Brown,
I'd like to see you waddle in a wedding gown,

While the orchestra's tuning
Come ragtime honeymooning
And we'll waddle out of town.

[Repeat Chorus]
