I'll be down to get you in a taxi

B7        Bm5-/7       Cdim       B7
You better be ready 'bout half past eight;

Now dearie, don't be late
          A        Cdim      Bm7         E7
I want to be there when the band starts playing.

And remember when we get there



Honey

Two-steps
I'm goin' to have 'em all.
