It's a Raggy Waltz
by The Dave Brubeck Quartet

Raggy waltz, a raggy waltz, a raggy waltz that
I'm gonna dance with you. Now that you've
Heard this very funny beat let me see if
You can feel it in your feet. Yeah, you've got it!
Startin' to swing! Just forget ev'rything, raggy waltzin' with me.
It's not a waltz that's Viennese, Johann Strauss
T'would never please.
It's a raggy waltz, a raggy waltz, a raggy waltz, and
No other dance will do. And when the
Dance is through you're gonna say, "Never stop ro-
Mancin', dancin' in this way makes me love you."
Out on the floor you'll be askin' for more, raggy
Waltzin' with me.
Come dance with me.
