Dearie, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up,
I've a bit of wonderful news!
Pass your worry up, worry up, worry up,
It's the kind to drive away blues.
Tell me how you'd like to call
At the million dollar ball,
that's given by a rare millionaire, this affair,
don't you dare to care to refuse.

Come on down,
there's a million dollar ball in town
Just chase away that frown,
Come on down,
You'll be the best little,
dress'd little lady;
with your diamond crown;
And your pretty little satin gown,
I'll bet that all in the ball
start to fall in love with you,
you'll be beautiful.
Come with me,
And hear that most appealing harmony.
That million dollar feeling comes to you;
While the melody hums to you,
You'll be glad to be at
that million dollar ball.

Come on down,
there's a million dollar ball in town
Just chase away that frown,
Come on down,
You'll be the best little,
dress'd little lady;
with your diamond crown;
And your pretty little satin gown,
I'll bet that all in the ball
start to fall in love with you,
you'll be beautiful.
Come with me,
And hear that most appealing harmony.
That million dollar feeling comes to you;
While the melody hums to you,
You'll be glad to be at
that million dollar ball.

Dearie, there's a queen
of a green limousine,
on the outside ready to go;
dear, in this machine,
to the scene that I mean
Only take a minute or so.
Tell me that you understand,
Really, it's a wonderland,
and comf'table and snug like a bug,
in a rug,
we can hug our way to the show.

Come on down,
there's a million dollar ball in town
Just chase away that frown,
Come on down,
You'll be the best little,
dress'd little lady;
with your diamond crown;
And your pretty little satin gown,
I'll bet that all in the ball
start to fall in love with you,
you'll be beautiful.
Come with me,
And hear that most appealing harmony.
That million dollar feeling comes to you;
While the melody hums to you,
You'll be glad to be at
that million dollar ball.

Come on down,
there's a million dollar ball in town
Just chase away that frown,
Come on down,
You'll be the best little,
dress'd little lady;
with your diamond crown;
And your pretty little satin gown,
I'll bet that all in the ball
start to fall in love with you,
you'll be beautiful.
Come with me,
And hear that most appealing harmony.
That million dollar feeling comes to you;
While the melody hums to you,
You'll be glad to be at
that million dollar ball.
