Текст песни Darktown Strutters' Ball

I've got some good news, honey

An invitation to the Darktown Ball

It's a very swell affair

All the "high-browns" will be there.

I'll wear my high silk hat and frock tail coat

You wear your Paris gown and your new silk shawl

There ain't no doubt about it babe

We'll be the best dressed in the hall.

Chorus:

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

You better be ready about half past eight

Now dearie, 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 Strutter's Ball.

We'll meet our hightoned neighbors

An exhibition of the "Baby Dolls"

And each one will do their best

Just to outclass the rest.

And there'll be dancers from ev'ry foreign land

The classic, buck and wing, and the wooden clog

We'll win that fifty dollar prize

When we step out and "Walk The Dog..."
