Hymn / Doing The Latest Rag

God, lift me up in mighty waters
Keep my eyes on things above
Rightteousness, divine atonement
Peace and everlasting love

Ladies and gentlemen
Everyone up and out
Follow the band and shout
"Isn't this a lovely day?"(Yes!)

Watching all the ladies in Parisian fashions
On display

Young Mister Hartley
Is playing quite smartly
In rhythm that could never lag
It's a musical treat
To hear a band with a beat
Performing their latest rag

How do you do, my friends?
So good to see you once more
How long since we first met?
Has it been three days or four?
It seems like so much longer
Than a little weekend jag
On the ship, by ourselves
On this glorious afternoon
Doing the lastest rag

I love the cool of the breeze
Feel the rhythm of the song in your knees
Promenading along at your ease
Like a feather in the air

It that a hint of a chill?
When you're dancing out of doors, it's a thrill
Keeps you hearty and healthier still
Take a partner if you dare

Everyone is bursting with emotion
Dancing as we cross the mighty ocean
Moing to then rythm of
The latest rag

(Come on and dance)
Dance with me please
Feel the rhythm of the song in your knees
Promenading along at your ease
Like a feather in the air

It that a hint of a chill?
When you're dancing out of doors, it's a thrill
Keeps you hearty and healthier still
Take a partner if you dare

Out on the well-deck
Ship's personnel deck
Feel all the ocean spray
Get yourself upon the upper hotel deck
Oh, what a swell deck!
Great for your dejeuner

Turn the corner on
The port parallel deck
It's la plus belle deck
All of the rest passé
Now the band is betting
The ragtime setting
Will take you away

Everyone up and out
Nobody lag about
Let your darker spirits climb
Strolling with the orchestra beside you
Playing four-four time

We've got a fellow
Who's better on the cello
Than any other ship can brag
So take your gile by the hand
And lend an ear to the band
And do today's latest rag
Come dancing

Out on the well-deck
Ship's personnel deck
Feel all the ocean spray
Get yourself upon
The upper hotel deck
Oh, what a swell deck
Kick all your cares away

Turn the corner on
The port parallel deck
Great demoiselle deck
Watch all the girls sashay
How the ragtime music
The ragtime music
Will take you away

Out on the well-deck
Ship's personnel deck
Feel all the ocean spray
The upper hotel deck
Oh, what a swell deck
Kick all your troubles away

The port parallel deck
It's la plus belle deck
All of the rest passé
Great demoiselle deck
Watch all the girls sashay

Everyone is bursting with emotion
Dancing as we cross the mighty ocean
Hasn't it been absolutely great to dance
The latest rag?
