Darktown Strutters' Ball Lyrics

Fats Domino

I'll be there to catch you in a taxi, honey
Better be ready 'bout half past eight
Now baby, don't be late
I wanna be there when the band start playing

Remember when we get there, honey
Two-step, I'm gonna have them all
Gonna dance out of both of my shoes
When they play the 'Jelly Roll Blue'
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball


I'll be there to catch you in a taxi, honey
Better be ready 'bout half past eight
Now baby, don't be late
I wanna be there when the band start playing

Remember when we get there, honey
Two-step, I'm gonna have them all
Gonna dance out of both of my shoes
When they play the 'Jelly Roll Blue'
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball
