There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Come along, get ready, wear your bran', bran' new gown For there's going to be a meeting in this good, good old town Where you know everybody, and they all know you And you get a rabbit foot to keep away them hoo-doo [Chorus] When you hear that the preachin' does begin Bend down low for to drive away your sin When you get religion, you wanna shout and sing There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight My baby, when you hear them bells go ding-a-ling All join around and sweetly you must sing When the verse am through, and the chorus all join in There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight [Trumpet Solo] [Verse 2] There'll be girls for ev'ry body in this good, good old town There's Miss Consola Davis, and there's Miss Gonzula Brown There's Miss Henrietta Pisa, and she's all dressed in red I just hugged and kissed her, and to me then she said [Chorus] "Please, oh please, oh do not let me fall You are mine, and I love you best of all You'll be my man, or I'll have no man at all" There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight My baby, when you hear them bells go ding-a-ling All join around and sweetly you must sing When the verse am through in the chorus we'll all join in There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight
