Lyrics
I’ll be down to get you in a taxi, honey
Better be ready about half past eight
Ooh, honey, don’t be late
I’ll be there when the band starts swingin'
Remember when we get there, honey
Two steps, we’re gonna have a ball
Kick off both of our shoes
When they play the 'Jelly Roll Blues'
Quiet, tomorrow night at the darktown strutter’s ball
Re-re-re-ready
(We're gonna come and get ya)
Let it ru-ru-rule, honey
(We've really gotta have it)
De-de-du-de-da-dy
(Whatchu gonna do now?)
Re-re-ru-ru-re-dra-dra
(Got 'em all right)
Re-re-de-di-di
(Tight, tight, tight)
Re-de-di-di-de-di-di
(Woo, talk tonight)
Re-di-de-di-di-di-de-di-de-di
Dom-dom-do-dom-da-da-da-di
Tomorrow night, at the strut-strut-strutter's ball
Darktown’s heaven, tambourine
Everybody’s shoutin' in a minor key
Sunday gonna meet, 'course, that ain’t long
Makin' preparations for the strutter’s ball
I’ll be down to get you in a taxi, honey
Gotta be ready about half past eight
Ooh, honey, don’t be late
Be there when the bands are swingin'
Remember when we get there, honey
Two steps, we’re gonna have 'em all
Take off both of our shoes
When they play the 'Jelly Roll Blues'
Quiet, tomorrow night
Yup, tomorrow night
Yes, tomorrow night, at the darktown strutter’s ball
