[Verse:]
|
Tickets for one and all
|
For the Policeman's Ball
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Fifty cents for a gent and his bundle
|
Will admit you to the Policeman's Ball
|
Fifty cents and you're all set to trundle
|
Arm in arm and dance all around the hall
|
|
Dancin' 'round, gettin' hot 'neath the collar
|
If it starts to wilt from the lack of starch
|
There'll be six you can buy for a dollar
|
And you'll have a spare for the big Grand March
|
|
All evening they'll be tripping the light fantastic
|
Watch their suspenders stretching the old elastic
|
|
Each dress'd up in a suit made of cotton
|
Patent leather shoes that are much too small
|
But who cares? That'll soon be forgotten
|
Dancing at the Policeman's Ball
|
|
[Coda:]
|
Come on let's go to the Policeman's Ball
|
