Away with dull care, the day is set fair,A wireless set near, to bring us good cheerOlden days had different ways,Their pleasures then were fewer;Modern days will get my praise,Our wireless ways are newer.A sterling time, a whirling time,A record time, or Father Time,The daily times that Big Ben chimesAre radio times.

Once upon a time they played thatBut that was long agoThen they started singin' thatBut they got tired of that, you knowNow here's a little tune that's goin' 'roundYou can hear it all over townThey're singin'.

Hear this fat boy blowing his horn?He's been a bug since the day he was bornHis favorite jittersauce is ryeWe'll drink it till the day he diesToot your whistle and ring your bellOl butchy wutchy time or tellDont you worry you just mugYou'll always be a jitterbug.

I went down to the landingTo see if any boats were thereAnd the fareman told meCould not find the boats nowhereThe big boat ease up the riverAre turnin' 'round an 'roundLord, I'm 'on get me a good girlOr jump overboard an drown

And you'll find while you're dancingThat there's a rhythm in your heart and soulA certain rhythm that you can't controlAnd you will do the continental all the timeBeautiful music, dangerous rhythmBeautiful music, dangerous rhythm.
