My little hon, my little one,
you better hurry down to Darktown
where lights are bright
'most ev'ry night,
Oh what a wonderful sight,
Work all done?
Come on hon'
if you want to see the fun.

So won't you come on down
to Easy Street
because they're goin'
to make you shake your feet
and you just have to shimmy when they yell
Slide 'em easy, slide 'em easy
when you hear the "Easy Blues"
Just you watch your 'Ps' and 'Qs'
and for their easy jazz you're bound to fall
you're goin' to hear that jazbo leader call
"you better grab your partners,
one and all
for the Easy Steppers Ball.

So won't you come on down
to Easy Street
because they're goin'
to make you shake your feet
and you just have to shimmy when they yell
Slide 'em easy, slide 'em easy
when you hear the "Easy Blues"
Just you watch your 'Ps' and 'Qs'
and for their easy jazz you're bound to fall
you're goin' to hear that jazbo leader call
"you better grab your partners,
one and all
for the Easy Steppers Ball.

You're goin' to see society
and all the bright lights
down in Darktown,
You're goin' to meet
all the elite
they'll make your pleasure complete,
short and tall,
large and small,
they will all be in the hall...

So won't you come on down
to Easy Street
because they're goin'
to make you shake your feet
and you just have to shimmy when they yell
Slide 'em easy, slide 'em easy
when you hear the "Easy Blues"
Just you watch your 'Ps' and 'Qs'
and for their easy jazz you're bound to fall
you're goin' to hear that jazbo leader call
"you better grab your partners,
one and all
for the Easy Steppers Ball.

So won't you come on down
to Easy Street
because they're goin'
to make you shake your feet
and you just have to shimmy when they yell
Slide 'em easy, slide 'em easy
when you hear the "Easy Blues"
Just you watch your 'Ps' and 'Qs'
and for their easy jazz you're bound to fall
you're goin' to hear that jazbo leader call
"you better grab your partners,
one and all
for the Easy Steppers Ball.
