Verse:

Rag-time Joe played an old piano,

In a honky tonk cafe,
When anyone requested a brand new tune,
Here's what rag-time Joe would say:

 

Chorus:

There'll be no new tunes on this old piano,
This old piano of mine.

There'll be no boogie woogie, Or none of that jazz.
Or any other kind of arazzamataz.
I'll sing about Swanee, The old folks at home,
The wide open spaces where the buffalo roam,
There'll be no new tunes on this old piano,
This old piano of mine.
