Lyrics:
First verse
Ma honey we're invited, to a mighty swell affair. Ma honey I'm delighted, That they asked us to be there. ‘Cause we will mix from four to six, with the Darktown ""Social Set."" It's something new we're goin'to, So, ma honey don't forget.
Chorus
At your door I'll be ‘bout half past three, so be ready Hon' to go with me. Wegotta start real early, ‘cause you know My ""Old Tin Lizzie"" is awful slow. Jasper Johnson and his Jazzy band, Is goin' to play the Jazz we understand My honey we will ""Ball the Jack"" Right up to Paradise and back, With all the Colored aristocracy, At the Coffee Cooler's Tea. At your Tea.
Second verse
Ma honey, quit your teasin', Say you'll come along with me. Ma honey, there's no reason, That you turn down this swell tea. Don't be afraid, my rent is paid, so take this coin and go. And buy a gown the best in town, That's what worried you I know.
(Chorus)
