At The Million Dollar Tango Ball
Composer(s): James White



Millionaires gave a tango ball the other night at the Wall Street Hall
Hetty Green and old John D. Vanderbilt and Carnegie
Millionaires from every town did the tango up and down 
I know you'd think it funny if you could see them, honey doing things up brown

Fragrant perfume filled the air diamonds shone from everywhere 
I saw Eva Tanguay there she was singing "I Don't Care" 
Leaders of society losing all their dignity 
you ought to see them swaying and hear the music playing on and off the key

At the million dollar tango ball, given by the millionaires at Wall Street Hall 
John D. Rockefeller sold the tickets by the score
Andrew Carnegie was taking tickets at the door 
Hetty Green was dancing mistress of the floor
Vanderbuilt was playing every rag encore with "Too much mustard" oh you doll 
no one thought of home at all, at the million dollar tango ball
