The Platters
Darktown Strutter’s Ball
I'll be down to get you in a taxi, honey
You better be a-ready 'bout half past eight
Now honey, don't be late
I wanna be there when the band starts playing
Remember when we a-get there, honey
The two-step's gonna have 'em all
Dance out both my shoes
Oh, when they play those "Jelly Roll Blues"
Tomorrow night, at the Darktown Strutter's Ball

[Instrumental]

(I wanna be there when the joint starts to-rockin!)

[Instrumental]

Tomorrow night, at the Darktown Strutter's Ball

(Down to get you, honey! You better be ready)
(I want to be there when the joint starts to-rockin!)

Remember when we a-get there, honey
The two-step's gonna have 'em all
Dance out both my shoes
Oh, when they play those "Jelly Roll Blues"
(When?)
(Tomorrow night) Tomorrow night (Tomorrow night) Tomorrow night
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball
(Tomorrow night at the Dark-town Strut-ter's Ball!)
