Chorus 1: Look at them shufflin’, a-shufflin’ down,
Ramblin’, scramblin’ a-headin’ to town,
Hustling, bustlin’, and buzzin’ aroun’,
Happily a-waitin’ at the station.
Look at the train, the number seven-o-nine,
Huffin’ and puffin’ and arrivin’ on time.
Who do you think’s about to arrive?
The band they call “The Dixieland Five.”

They’re gonna play that Muskrat Ramble tune
The way you never ever heard it played,
Get ready for the big parade. All together now
One and two come on and join the happy throng.
Feel the beat of that shufflin’, scufflin’ muskrat song;
Come on and ramble along

Chorus 2: Look at them shufflin’, a-shufflin’ down,
Look at the band paradin’ all over town.
Look at the happiness a-goin’ aroun’
Everybody’s up and celebrating.
Look at the drummer entertainin’ the gang,
Clinging and clanging with a bing and a bang!
Changing the town from dead to ’live!
The band they call “The Dixieland Five.”

You’re gonna hear them play that Dixieland,
You better get your reservation planned,
In person on a one night stand. All together now
Come on folks, come on and join the happy throng.
Feel the beat of that ramblin’, scramblin’ muskrat song.
Come on and ramble along!
