What's the name of that melody?
Something mighty sweet about it
Something hard to beat about it
What's the name of that melody?
What a pity not to know the name of such a pretty ditty
It always seems to interrupt you when you're talking
It seems to lift you to your feet and start you walking
When those cellos and fiddle start
In to fiddle that middle part
Clouds, fears, sighs, tears, disappear as if by Magic
The world goes around to the sound of a Syncopated melody
Come on, take a chance, and we'll dance to the Syncopated melody
Beware, have a care, have a care when you're doin' it
Keep moving, or you'll ruin it
And just so you'll know we'll show you
All the late improvements in those syncopated movements
Oh, you start kind of slow till you know how to throw your shoulders in the air
Then you slide and you glide 'round the room in an attitude of "I don't care!"
You'll dance and you'll sway, and you'll think and you'll talk to it
You'll work and you'll play, and you'll drink and you'll walk to it
You can't get away from that Magic Melody
