darktown flapper's ball - gladys bryant lyrics
[verse]
darktown, mailing out cards
and they must rsvp
they’ve been addressed
just to the best
darktown, all dolling up
just like aristocracy
prancing fools, dancing cool
what a time there’ll be, oh
[chorus]
bob-haired brown-skin can’t keep still
they’ll step out in style
dapper gents from louisville
a-real high yellows with their fellows
creole belles and memphis swells
prancing ’round the hall
and when the band starts out on a jazzy raid
you’re gonna see the charge of the black brigade
cut your cuff and strut your stuff
at the darktown flapper’s ball
[instrumental break]
[chorus]
bob-haired brown-skin can’t keep still
they’ll step out in style
dapper gents from louisville
a-real high yellows with their fellows
creole belles and memphis swells
prancing ’round the hall
and when the band starts out on a jazzy raid
you’re gonna see the charge of the black brigade
cut your cuff and strut your stuff
at the darktown flapper’s ball
