Mister piano player,
No-one plays it gayer,
The Crazy Otto Rag.
On your upright pianner,
In your lazy manner,
The Crazy Otto Rag.

How we love that melody from far across the sea,
Keep it moderato like that Crazy Otto, not too hotto!
Mister piano player,
You should be the mayor
With that Crazy Otto Rag!

The Crazy Otto Rag.

With that Crazy Otto,
Crazy Otto,
Crazy Otto Rag!
