When the band plays the jelly roll s blues, set em all alight

At the darktown strutters ball, i ll be down to get you in a taxi honey
i ll be down to get you in a push cart honey
set em all alight
I ll be down to get you in a push cart honey, member when you get there honey
Better be ready bout half past eight, at the darktown strutters ball
Dance all over my shoes, set em all alight, better be ready bout half past eight
I ll be down to get you in a push cart honey, at the darktown strutters ball, better be ready bout half past eight
Remember when you get there honey, dance all over the floor, member when you get there honey
I mean don t be late, at the darktown strutters ball
Set em all alight, member when you get there honey
When the band plays the jelly roll s blues, when the band plays the jelly roll s blues, when the band plays the jelly roll blues

At the darktown strutters ball, member when you get there honey, dance all over my shoes
Better be ready bout half past eight, i ll be down to get you in a push cart honey
set em all alight
I mean don t be late, when the band plays the jelly roll blues
dance all over the floor
At the darktown strutters ball, i mean don t be late
