I'll be down to get you in a taxi, honey
 You better be ready around half past eight
 Oh baby don't be late
 I wanna be there when the band starts sunny
 But just remember when we get there honey
 Two steps I'm gonna have them all
 Dance out of both my shoes
 When they play general blues
 Tomorrow night at the darktown strutters' ball
 I'll be down to get you in a taxi, honey
 You'd better be ready by around half past eight
 Oh baby don't be late
 I wanna be there when the band starts high
 Just remember when we get there honey
 Two steps I'm gonna have them all
 Dance out of both my shoes
 When they play general blues
 Tomorrow night, at the Darktown Strutter's Ball
 I'll be down to get you in a taxi, honey
 You'd better be ready by aound half past eight
 Oh baby don't be late
 I wanna be there when the band starts playing
 Just remember when we get there honey
 Two steps I'm gonna have them all
 I'm gonna dance out of both my shoes
 When they play general blues
 Tomorrow night at the darktown strutters' ball
