Darktown Strutters’ Ball

I've got some good news, honey
An invitation to the Strutters’ Ball
It's a very swell affair
All the high-brows will be there
Put on your high silk hat and a frock tail coat
I’ll wear my Italian gown and my new silk shawl
Ain't no doubt about it babe
We'll be the best dressed in the hall

(Sicilian Verse)
i te veni a pigliare cu me shekureddu
dumani serra ala otte menz
figgiu mia non a fatta tard’
arrevamo da quanna comincia la musica
ricordati quanno arrivamuta
I ballo mala dalla sula mia?
Brucciamo tutte scarpe bell’
Quanna ballamo lo tarantella’
Dumani serra ala festa menza strad!

I'll be down to get you in a pushcart, honey
You better be ready about half past eight
Now baby, don't be late
I want to be there when the band starts playing
Remember when we get there, honey
The tarantellas we're going to have them all
Going to dance off both my shoes
When they play the "Lasagna Blues”
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutters’ Ball
