I'll be down to get you in a taxi, honey
Better be ready about half past eight
Now honey, 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 Strutters' Ball...
