Tiger Rag Lyrics
Jelly Roll Morton

Hold that tiger.

That was many years before the Dixieland had ever started, when I played the “Tiger Rag.” Of course, we named it “Tiger Rag,” but we had a lot of other numbers around there that was supposed to be good. For an instance, er, we’ll say “That’s-a Plenty.” “That’s-a Plenty,” er, no, we won’t say that, we’ll say “Panama.” That was a very good hot number. And we played it pretty good around there.
