Hank Snow - Darktown Strutters` Ball слова песни
(Brooks)
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..."
