All you gentlemen (and) ladies, (have you heard the news?)
We're gonna have a good time tonight;
There's going to be a cakewalk, get on your walking shoes,
We're going to have a good time tonight.
All you gentlemen (and) ladies, (unintelligible phrase)
We're gonna have a good time tonight;
If you've come to dance with me, put on your dancing shoes,
We're going to have a good time tonight.
