The Gettin' Ready Rag has few lyrics because it is largely a dance number, in which the Harlem residents celebrate and dance to ragtime music, performed by Coalhouse and the other club musicians.
[COALHOUSE, spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen, the Gettin' Ready Rag!
[ENSEMBLE]
Gettin' Ready Rag
[COALHOUSE, spoken]
Oh yeah, that's it, that's it, that's it
[ENSEMBLE]
Gettin' Ready Rag
Gettin', Gettin'
Gettin' Ready Rag
[WOMEN]
Anything it takes
[MEN]
Anything you need
[ENSEMBLE]
You gotta find your girl, Coalhouse
And win her back
Gettin' Ready Rag
[MEN]
Ready as you'll ever get
[COALHOUSE]
Not yet
[WOMEN]
Gotta win the girl, Coalhouse
[COALHOUSE]
Think of what a better man she'll see
When Mr. Henry Ford puts me
At the wheel of a Model T
