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

Better be ready 'bout half past eight

I mean don't be late

Be there when the band starts playin'



Remember when you get there honey

Dance all over the floor

Dance all over my shoes

When the band plays the Jelly Roll blues

Set 'em all alight

At the darktown strutters ball



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

Better be ready 'bout half past eight

I mean don't be late

Be there when the band starts playin'



'Member 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 'em all alight

At the darktown strutters ball
