Muskrat Ramble Songtext
von Bing Crosby & Louis Armstrong

Hey now, yeah!

What′s the reason for this celebration?
Man, ya look at all those people there
Hanging 'round the station
Say, what′s the big event?

Man essential train is coming
On track number one
Well, it's got to be the Pittsburgh Pirates
No, it's more important, son
Is it the President?
No, no, no, no
Brigitte Bardot?
No, no, no, no
Then tell me who′s about to arrive
There he is now, Satch-a-mo and The Dixieland Five

Oh, look at them shuffling, shuffling down
A-rambling, scrambling over the town
Hustling, bustling, buzzing around
Never saw a bigger celebration


Oh, look at the train, a number 709
Just a huffing and a-puffing and arriving on time
Changing the town from dead to alive
Satchmo and His Five

We′re gonna play that Muskrat Ramble tune
And Mr Bing, the moment that it's played
You lead us on the big parade
Altogether now, one and two
Join the happy throng
Everyone start matching, swinging the Muskrat song
We′ll be singing along

Oh, Mr Bing
When you sing
That's the thing we do enjoy
Well, Mr A
When you play
Gabriel says, "Who that boy?"

Everybody′s walking
Talking
That Muskrat song
While we amble that
Muskrat Ramble
While we amble along


Oh, that's the best parade I ever been on, Satch!
Natch! You are in New Orleans!
While (while) we (we) amble along (amble along)
