At the New Jump Steady Ball Lyrics

[*** 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 molasses made it stupifying; 
Extract of lemon and ginger ale, 
Mixes great with shoe polish 
And you're bound for jail; 
Copasetic was the password 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 molasses made it stupifying 
Extract of lemon and ginger ale, 
Mixes great with shoe polish 
And you're bound for jail; 
Copasetic was the password for one and all, 
At the New Jump Steady Ball!
