Where the sailor spend his hard-earned pay

Throw Back the Little Ones

I have never met Napoleon

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...
