Be My Guest
Fats Domino Lyrics
Come on baby and be my guest
Come join the party and meet the rest
Everything is gonna be all right
So be my guest tonight
We're gonna dance to the rock 'n' roll
We're gonna even do the stroll
We're gonna Lindy Hop and Suzy Q
It's a special party just for you
My, my-oh-mine, gee, you're so fine
Don't let me down
I'm the king but you can wear my crown
I'm gonna sing, my band gonna play
I'm gonna make you queen for a day
Everything is gonna be all right
So be my guest tonight
My, my-oh-mine, gee, you're so fine
Don't let me down
I'm the king but you can wear my crown
I'm gonna sing, my band gonna play
I'm gonna make you queen for a day
Everything is gonna be all right
So be my guest tonight

Me too! I was reading up on reggae, then traveled back into ska, and then wanted to know how NOLA R&B inspired Jamaican ska music.

See also louis prima - robin hood/oh babe, first record that alphonso played sax on in this style and became inspiration for first ska records.
