Lyrics:

1. Honey, honey, can't you hear?
Funny, funny music, dear
Ain't the funny strain goin' to your brain?
Like a bottle of wine, fine
Hon', hon', hon', hon', take a chance
One, one, one, one little dance
Can't you see them all swaying up the hall?
Let's be gettin' in line

Chorus:
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
See that ragtime couple over there
Watch them throw their shoulders in the air
Snap their fingers, Honey, I declare
It's a bear, it's a bear, it's a bear. There!
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Ev'rybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Ain't that music touching your heart?
Hear that trombone bustin' apart?
Come, come, come, come let us start
Ev'rybody's doin' it now

2. Baby, baby, get a stool
Maybe, maybe I’m a fool
Honey, don’t you smile let us rest awhile
I’m so weak in the chest, best
Go, go, go, go get a chair
No, no, no, no, leave it there
Honey, if the mob still are on the job
I’m as strong as the rest
