At The New Jump Steady Ball - Ethel Waters[00:00:00]
Now the jump steady club[00:00:10]
They gave a ball[00:00:12]
And it was held down at the new hope hall[00:00:14]
All the bootleggers in the town[00:00:17]
Why they brought that stuff steady along[00:00:21]
People came from far and near[00:00:24]
To taste the different mixtures that they handled there[00:00:27]
When the jazz band struck up[00:00:30]
You'd be surprised[00:00:32]
Everybody in the hall was google-eyed[00:00:34]
They started serving me gin and wine[00:00:37]
And everything in wood alcohol line[00:00:41]
Chicago pop and all I declare[00:00:44]
All kinds of hair tonic went around with the dance[00:00:47]
You make a tincture mixed with turpentine[00:00:51]
With black molasses made it stupifying[00:00:54]
Extract of lemon and ginger ale[00:00:58]
Mixes great with shoe polish[00:01:00]
And you're bound for jail[00:01:03]
Copasetic was the password for one and all[00:01:04]
At the new jump steady ball[00:01:08]
About twelve o'clock I was feeling fine[00:01:15]
To tell the truth I was out of my mind[00:01:18]
But just before I lost my head[00:01:22]
I saw them carry six men out dead[00:01:25]
They walked out the window in the air[00:01:28]
They called for music but no jazz band was there[00:01:32]
Yet everybody there was pleasure bent[00:01:35]
You could get paralyzed for fifteen cents[00:01:38]
They started serving me gin and wine[00:01:42]
And everything in wood alcohol line[00:01:45]
Chicago pop and all I declare[00:01:49]
All kinds of hair tonic went around with the dance[00:01:52]
You make a tincture mixed with turpentine[00:01:55]
With black molasses made it stupifying[00:01:59]
Extract of lemon and ginger ale[00:02:02]
Mixes great with shoe polish[00:02:05]
And you're bound for jail[00:02:06]
Copasetic was the password for one and all[00:02:08]
