I'm gon -na pick you up in my old Mod -el "T",

Put on your new glad rags and be wait -in' for me,

Be rea -dy at eight we must -n't be late,

We're go -ing to a ball, I mean that Ban -Jo Pick -er's Ball.

There'll be a band strum -min' rag -time all night,

The best band in the land hon -ey babe, what a sight;

They'll make those Ban -jo's talk when they start to get hot,

We'll do that old cake -walk when they play the tur -key trot.

HEY; what a cel -e -bra -tion, There'll be lots of syn -co -pa -tion

At the Ban -Jo Pick -er's Ball.
