Bessie Smith - At the Christmas Ball Lyrics

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 lose their rep
Everybody full of fare
At the Christmas Ball

Grab your partner one and 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
