Lyrics

Any news was good news

And the feeling was bad at home

I was out of mind and you

Were on the phone

Lonnie was the kingpin

Back in nineteen sixty-five

I was singing this song

When Lonnie came alive

CHORUS:

Bring back the Boston Rag

Tell all your buddies

That it ain't no drag

Bring back the Boston Rag

You were Lady Bayside

There was nothing that I could do

So I pointed my car down

Seventh Avenue

Lonnie swept the playroom

And he swallowed up all he found

It was forty-eight hours til

Lonnie came around

CHORUS
