I'll Be Down To Get You In A Taxi / DarkTown Strutter's Ball (JD Sebastian)

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 playing,
Remember when we get there, Honey,
The two-steps, I'm goin' to have 'em all,
Goin' to dance out both my shoes,
When they play the "Jelly Roll Blues,"
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutters' Ball.

Yes, Sir! that's my baby! No sir, I don't mean maybe, yes sir, that's my baby now
Yes, ma'm, we've decided, no ma'm, we ain't gonna hide it, yes, ma'm, you're invited now
By the way, by the way, when we walk up to the preacher I'll say
Yes sir, that's my baby, no sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now, [instrumental interlude]
By the way, by the way, when we run into the preacher I'll say
I'll say yes sir, that's my baby, no sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now, Mmm

My Mom played this on the piano when my brother, sister and I were kids. My brother called me yesterday to ask if I recalled the words. And I did, all of them!! I just had to hear it again. Many Thanks. . . and for "Yes, Sir, That's my Baby" too!

Fantastic. How much would it cost me to get ahold of this arrangement on paper?
