At the Christmas Ball

At the Christmas Ball - Bessie Smith

Hey bessie it's christmas here

Here here hurray for every christmas

Christmas comes but once a year and to me it brings good cheer

And to everyone who likes wine and beer

Happy new year is after that happy i'll be that is a fact

That is why i like to hear folks i say that christmas is here

Christmas bells will ring real soon even in the afternoon

There'll be no chimes shall ring at the christmas ball

Everyone must watch their step or they will loose their rep

Everybody full of fare at the christmas ball

Grab your partner one an' all keep on dancing 'round the hall

Then there's no one to fall don't you dare to strut

If your partner don't act fair don't worry

There's some more over there

Seekin' a chance everywhere at the christmas ball
