The Darktown Strutters Ball

The Darktown Strutters' Ball - Hoagy Carmichael

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

You better be ready about half past eight

Now dearie don't be late

I want to be there when the band starts playing

Remember when we get there honey

The two-steps I'm goin' to have 'em all

Goin' to dance out both my shoes

When they play the Jelly roll blues

Tomorrow night at the darktown strutter's ball

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

You better be ready about half past eight

Now dearie don't be late

I want to be there when the band starts playing

Remember when we get there honey

The two-steps I'm goin' to have 'em all

Goin' to dance out both my shoes

When they play the Jelly roll blues

Tomorrow night at the darktown strutter's ball

Goin' to dance out both my shoes

When they play the Jelly roll blues

Tomorrow night at the darktown strutter's
