[Verse 1]
Raggedy Ann went in a downtown saloon
They had a player piano played a crazy tune
Wild Bill, the bad man, came and shot out the lights
And while ev'rybody else was a-runnin' for their life
Raggedy Ann was out on the floor
And the player piano was a-playin' some more
[Chorus]
She hollered, "Ev'rybody, dance" (Everybody)
"Ev'rybody, dance", she keep the music playing (Everybody)
"Ev'rybody, dance", oh yeah, yeah (Everybody)
"Ev'rybody, dance" (Everybody)
Well, Raggedy Ann was out on the floor
And the player piano was a-playin' some more
[Piano Solo]
(Ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
Raggedy Ann danced with a cat named Lou
They found a player piano at the Greasy Spoon
Shady Freddy closed the joint just to hear them scream
And while ev'rybody there was a-splittin' the scene
Raggedy Ann stayed out on the floor
And the player piano kept a-playin' some more
[Chorus]
She hollered, "Ev'rybody, dance, ev'rybody
Ev'rybody, dance, ev'rybody
Ev'rybody, dance, it's Smokey Joe's now
Ev'rybody, dance, the joint is smokin' now"
Raggedy Ann stayed out on the floor
And the player piano kept a-playin' some more
[Outro]
Ev'rybody
One more time, yeah, yeah-yeah
(Everybody) Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Evr'ybody, yeah
Raggedy Ann was out on the floor
And the player piano was a-playin' some more
Ev'rybody, yeah
