1996 concept cast of ragtime - ragtime lyrics

Loading...

[little boy, spoken]
in 1902, father built a house at the crest of the broadview avenue hill in new roch+lle, new york, and it seemed for some years thereafter that all the family’s days would be warm and fair.

[ensemble]
the skies were blue and hazy
rarely a storm
barely a chill

[women]
la, la la la la

[ensemble]
the afternoons were lazy
everyone warm
everything still

[men]
la, la la la la

[ensemble]
and there was distant music
simple and somehow sublime
giving the nation
a new syncopation
the pеople called it ragtime
and thеre was distant music
skipping a beat
singing a dream

[women]
la, la la la la

[ensemble]
a strange, insistent music
putting out heat
picking up steam

[men]
la, la la la la

[ensemble]
the sound of distant thunder
suddenly starting to climb
it was the music
of something beginning
an era exploding
a century spinning
in riches and rags
and in rhythm and rhyme
the people called it ragtime
ragtime (ragtime)
ragtime (ragtime)
ragtime (ragtime, ragtime)
