lyrics

I'll be down to get you in a taxi, baby
Be ready 'bout half past eight
Come on baby, don't be late
I wanna be there when the Vipers start swingin'

I'll see you when I get there, honey
We'll do the two-step and have a ball
We gonna dance off our shoes
When the band plays the 'Jelly Roll Blues'
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball

I'll be down to get you in a taxi, baby
Be ready 'bout half past eight
Come on honey, don't be late
I wanna be there when these cats start swingin'

I'll see you when I get there, honey
We gonna do the two-step and have a ball
I wanna dance off my shoes
When the band plays the 'Jelly Roll Blues'
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball
