I've got some good news, Honey
An invitation to the Darktown Ball
It's a very swell affair
All the highbrows will be there

I'll wear my high silk hat and my cutaway coat
You wear your Paris gown and your new silk shawl
Ain't no doubt about it, Babe
We'll be the best dressed in the hall (in the hall)

I'll be down to get you in a taxi, Honey
Better be ready 'bout half past eight
Now dearie, (now dearie) don't be late
I want to be there when the band starts playing

Remember when we get there, Honey
Two-steps, I'm gonna have 'em all
Gonna dance out both my shoes
When they play the "Jelly Roll Blues"
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutters' Ball

And I'll be down to get you in a taxi, Honey
Better be ready 'bout half past eight
(Oh now) now dearie don't be late,
I want to be there when the band starts playing

Remember when we get there, Honey
Two-steps, gonna have 'em all
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance right out of my shoes
When they play those "Jelly Roll Blues"
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutters'
We'll be the best of all the right cutters
Saturday night at the Darktown Strutter' Ball
Oh what a ball
