At the coffee cooler's tea : novelty jazz song / by Alex Sullivan and Harry de Costa

VERSE 01: Ma honey we’re invited,/To a mighty swell affair./Ma honey I’m delighted,/That they asked us to be there./’Cause we will mix from four to six,/With the Darktown “Social Set.”/It’s something new we’re goin’ to,/So, ma honey don’t forget.
VERSE 02: Ma honey, quit your teasin’,/Say you’ll come along with me./Ma honey, there’s no reason,/That you turn down this swell tea./Don’t be afraid, my rent is paid,/So take this coin and go./And buy a gown the best in town,/That’s what worried you I know.
CHORUS: At your door I’ll be ‘bout half past three,/So be ready/Hon’ to go with me./We gotta’ start real early,/’Cause you know/My “Old Tin Lizzie” is awful slow./Jasper Johnson and his Jazzy band,/Is goin’ to play the Jazz we understand/My honey we will “Ball the Jack”/Right up to Paradise and back,/With all the Colored aristocracy,/At the Coffee Cooler’s Tea.
