Lyrics / Words to the Song

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 wanna be there when the band starts playing.
Remember when we get there, Honey,
The two-steps, I'm gonna have them all.
Gonna dance off both my shoes,
When they play the "Jelly Roll Blues,"
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutters' Ball.
