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