The Darktown

The Darktown Strutters' ball - Ella Fitzgerald/Eddie Lang Blue Five

I'll be down to get you in a taxi honey

Better be ready about half past eight

I mean don't be late

Be there when the band starts playin

Remember when you get there honey

Dance all over the floor dance all over my shoes

When the band plays the jelly roll blues

Set em all alight at the darktown strutters ball

I'll be down to get you in a push cart honey

Better be ready bout half past eight

I mean don't be late

Be there when the band starts playin

Member when you get there honey

Shim sham wins them all dance all over my shoes

When the band plays the jelly roll's blues

Set em all alight the darktown strutters ball
