The Darktown Strutter's Ball

The Darktown Strutter's Ball - Ella Fitzgerald

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 playing

Remember when you get there honey

Dance all over the floor dance all over my shoes

When the band plays the Jelly Roll's blues

Set them all alight at the darktown stutters' ball

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

Better be ready about half past eight

I mean don't be late

Be there when the band starts playing

Remember 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 them all alight the darktown stutters' ball
