a-Look at them shufflin', a-shufflin' down,
a-Ramblin', a-scramblin', a-headin' for town.
a-Hustlin', a-bustlin', a-buzzin' around,
Happily a-waitin' at the station.

a-Look at that train, the number seven-oh-nine,
a-Huffin', a-puffin', arrivin' on time.
a-Who do you think's about to arrive?
The band they call the Dixieland Five.

They're gonna play that a-Muskrat Ramblin' tune,
By the way you never ever heard it played,
a-Get ready for the big parade.
All together now one and two,
Join that happy throng.
a-Feel the beat of that ramblin', scramblin',
Muskrat song.
Come on and ramble along.

Whoo!
