[1st verse:]
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

[Refrain:]
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

[2nd verse:]
Baby, baby get a stool
Maybe, maybe I'm a fool
Honey, don't you smile
Let us rest a while
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
