I've got some good news, honey
An invitation to a dark down ball
It's a very swell affair
All the highbrows will be there
I'll wear my high silk hat and my front tail coat
You'll wear your Paris gown and your new silk shawl
There ain't no doubt about it, babe
We'll be the best dressed in the hall
I'll be down to get you in a taxi, honey
You better be ready by half past eight
Now, dearie, don't be late
You'll want to be there when the band starts playing
Remember when we get there,
honey The two steps I'm gonna have them on
I'm gonna dance out both of my shoes When they play the general blues
Tomorrow night at the dark down ball,
ball,
ball,
ball
Now I'll be down to get you,
honey Be ready by half past eight
Now,
baby,
don't you be late You'll want to be
there when the band starts rippin'
Remember when we get there,
honey The two steps I'm gonna have them on
I'm gonna dance out both of my shoes
When they play those boogie-woogie blues
Tomorrow night at the dark down ball,
at the ball
I'll be down to get you, honey Don't be late
We gotta hear that band play And swing our boogie-doot
-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot When we get there,
baby,
gonna have a ball I'm gonna dance out both of my shoes
For when they play the general blues Tomorrow night
Tomorrow night Tomorrow night at the dark down ball
