It's a wonder that the rag don't tear
The way he makes it pop
Just listen to him fan the air
Here goes

He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get up early when they're feelin' fine
Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine
With the great big bundle o'joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
