Waters Ethel - At the New Jump Steady Ball lyrics

Waters Ethel Miscellaneous At the New Jump Steady Ball [*** Note: We are very unsure of many of these words, but the song is too good to leave out!***] (Delaney - Easton) Now the Jump Steady Club They gave a ball And it was held down at the New Hope Hall; All the bootleggers in the town Why, they brought that stuff steady along; [?] People came from far and near To taste the different mixtures that they handled there; When the jazz band struck up You'd be surprised; Everybody in the hall was google-eyed; They started serving me gin and wine And everything in wood alcohol line Chicago pop and all, I declare All kinds of hair tonic went around with the dance; You make a tincture mixed with turpentine With black mola**es made it stupifying; Extract of lemon and ginger ale Mixes great with shoe polish And you're bound for jail; Copasetic was the pa**word for one and all At the New Jump Steady Ball! About twelve o'clock I was feeling fine To tell the truth, I was out of my mind; But just before I lost my head I saw them carry six men out dead! They walked out the window, in the air They called for music, but no jazz band was there; Yet everybody there was pleasure bent; You could get paralyzed for fifteen cents They started serving me gin and wine And everything in wood alcohol line Chicago pop and all, I declare All kinds of hair tonic went around with the dance; You make a tincture mixed with turpentine With black mola**es made it stupifying Extract of lemon and ginger ale Mixes great with shoe polish And you're bound for jail; Copasetic was the pa**word for one and all At the New Jump Steady Ball!
