At the Christmas Ball

"Hey Bessie it's Christmas here" Here! Here! Hurray for Christmas Christmas comes but once a year, and to me it brings good cheer, And to everyone who likes wine and beer Happy New Year is after that, happy I'll be, that is a fact That is why I like to hear, folks I say that Christmas is here Christmas bells will ring real soon, even in the afternoon There'll be no chimes shall ring at the Christmas Ball Everyone must watch their step, or they will loose their rep Everybody full of fare at the Christmas Ball Grab your partner one an' all, keep on dancing 'round the hall Then there's no one to fall, don't you dare to strut If your partner don't act fair, don't worry there's some more over there Seekin' a chance everywhere at the Christmas Ball --- At the Christmas Ball - Bessie Smith
