[Intro: Fast banjo rolls and a lively fiddle hook] [Verse 1] [Male vocal, rhythmic and snappy] I’ve got some news, I’ve got some news, I’ve got some news, my honey dear! I’ve got some news, I’ve got some news, And it’s a-comin’ to your ear. Oh, honey, I’ve been lookin’ at a beautiful day, I’m gonna take you to the ball, they say. I’ve got a dress that’s brand new, And you’ll look swell, I’m tellin’ you! [Chorus] [Harmonized, high-energy] 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 playin’. Remember when we get there, honey, Two-step, I’m gonna have it all. I’m gonna dance off both my shoes, When they play those “Darktown Strutters’ Ball” blues. [Instrumental Interlude: Blazing banjo solo followed by a sharp mandolin breakdown] [Verse 2] [Strong, rhythmic delivery] It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be, The finest night we’ve ever seen. You’re gonna be, you’re gonna be, The finest belle, my little queen. Oh, put on your dancing slippers, don’t you be slow, We’re goin’ where the music’s gonna flow. We’ll strut our stuff until the morning light, Oh, honey, won’t we be a sight! [Chorus] [Full intensity, fast tempo] 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 playin’. Remember when we get there, honey, Two-step, I’m gonna have it all. I’m gonna dance off both my shoes, When they play those “Darktown Strutters’ Ball” blues. [Outro: Fast fiddle flourish, final banjo "ping" on the last beat]
