The Darktown Strutter's Ball 
  
I'll be down to get you in a taxi honey 
You'd better be ready around half past eight 
Ah baby don't be late I want to be there when the band starts honey 
  
Well just remember when we get there honey 
Two steps gonna handle them all 
Dance with both my shoes when they play the jelly roll blues 
Tomorrow night at the darktown strutter's ball 
  
Well I'll be down to get you in a taxi honey 
You'd better be ready around half past eight 
Ah baby don't be late I want to be there when the band starts honey 
  
Just remember when we get there honey 
Two steps and gonna handle them all 
Dance off both my shoes when they play the jelly roll blues 
Tomorrow night at the darktown strutter's ball
