The Darktown Strutters' Ball

You gotta laugh,
You gonna laugh real hard,
When she takes her love away,
You gonna cry,
Take a look at yourself,
There ain't nuthin that you can say,

Don't go dancin down the Darktown strutters ball,
Don't go dancin down the Darktown strutters ball.

You gotta laugh,
You gonna laugh real hard,
When she takes her love away,
You gonna cry,
Take a look at yourself,
There ain't nuthin that you can say,

Don't go dancin down the Darktown strutters ball,
Don't go dancin down the Darktown strutters ball.
