musical cast recording – ragtime lyrics
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
the skies were blue and hazy
rarely a storm, barely a chill
the afternoons were lazy
everyone warm, everything still
and there was distant music
simple and somehow sublime
giving a nation, a new syncopation
the people called it ragtime
and there was distant music
skipping a beat, singing a dream
a strange, insistent music
putting out heat, picking up steam
a 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
