I'll be down to get you in a taxi honey
  You'd better be ready around half past eight
  Ah baby don't be late I want to be there when the band starts honey
  
  Well just remember when we get there honey
  Two steps gonna handle them all
  Dance with both my shoes when they play the jelly roll blues
  Tomorrow night at the darktown strutter's ball
  
  Well I'll be down to get you in a taxi honey
  You'd better be ready around half past eight
  Ah baby don't be late I want to be there when the band starts honey
  
  Just remember when we get there honey
  Two steps and gonna handle them all
  Dance off both my shoes when they play the jelly roll blues
  Tomorrow night at the darktown strutter's ball
