At The Christmas Ball

At The Christmas Ball - Bessie Smith

Written by：F.W. Longshaw

Hey bessie it's Christmas here

Here here

Hurray for 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
