Lyrics The Platters

The Platters

Darktown Strutter's Ball

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 want to be there when the band starts playing,

Remember when we get there, Honey,

The two-steps, I'm goin' to have 'em all,

Goin' to dance out both my shoes,

When they play the "Jelly Roll Blues,"

Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutters' Ball.
