Oh look at them shuffle and shufflin' down
Ramblin’, scramblin' over the town
Hustlin', bustlin', buzzin' around
Never saw a bigger celebration

Look at the train, number 709
Just huffin' and puffin' and arrivin' on time
Changin' the town from dead to alive
Satchmo and his Five
We're gonna play that muskrat ramble tune

And Mr. Bing, the moment that it's played
You lead us on the big parade
All together now, one and two
Join the happy throng
Everybody start marchin' and swingin' the muskrat song
We'll be singing along

Mr. Bing, when you sing
That's the thing we do enjoy
Well Mr. A, when you play
Gabriel says, "who dat boy?"

Everybody's walkin' and talkin'
That muskrat song
While we amble that muskrat ramble
While we amble along

That's the best parade I've ever been on, Satch
You're in New Orleans!
While we amble along
