Any news was good news And the feeling was bad at home I was out of mind and you Were on the phone Lonnie was the kingpin Back in nineteen sixty-five I was singing this song When Lonnie came alive
Bring back the Boston Rag Tell all your buddies That it ain't no drag Bring back the Boston Rag
You were Lady Bayside There was nothing that I could do So I pointed my car down Seventh Avenue Lonnie swept the playroom And he swallowed up all he found It was forty-eight hours til Lonnie came around
Bring back the Boston Rag Tell all your buddies That it ain't no drag Bring back the Boston Rag
