I'll be there to catch you in a taxi, honey

Better be ready 'bout half past eight

Now baby, don't be late

I wanna be there when the band start playing

Remember when we get there, honey

Two-step, I'm gonna have them all

Gonna dance out of both of my shoes

When they play the 'Jelly Roll Blue'

Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball

I'll be there to catch you in a taxi, honey

Better be ready 'bout half past eight

Now baby, don't be late

I wanna be there when the band start playing

Remember when we get there, honey

Two-step, I'm gonna have them all

Gonna dance out of both of my shoes

When they play the 'Jelly Roll Blue'

Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball
