I'll be down to get you in a taxi honey
You'd better be ready 'round half past eight
Ah baby don't be late
I wanna be there when the band starts playing
Well just remember when we get there honey
Two steps gonna handle them all
Gonna dance with both my shoes
When they play the jelly roll blues
Tomorrow night at the darktown strutter's ball
Interlude
Verse
Well I'll be down to get you in a taxi honey
You'd better be ready around half past eight
Ah baby don't be late I want to be there when the band starts playing
Just remember when we get there honey
Two steps and gonna handle them all
I'm gonna Dance off both my shoes when they play the jelly roll blues
Tomorrow night at the darktown strutter's ball
Tomorrow night at the darktown strutter's ball
