Cake walkers may come, cake walkers may go,
|
but I wanna tell you 'bout a couple I know
|
High steppin' pair, Debonair
|
When it comes for bus'ness not a soul can compare
|
|
Here they come, look at 'em, demonstratin',
|
goin' some, ain't they syncopatin'?
|
Talk of the town, teasin' brown pickin' 'em up and layin' 'em down
|
Dancin' fools ain't they demonstratin'?
|
They're a class of their own
|
|
Now the only way to win is to cheat 'em,
|
you may tie 'em but you'll never beat 'em
|
Strut your stuff, they're the cake walkin' babies from home
|
Strut your stuff, strut your stuff, cake walkin' babies from home
|
|
Here they come, look at 'em, syncopatin',
|
goin' some, ain't they demonstratin'?
|
Talk of the town, teasin' brown pickin' 'em up and layin' 'em down
|
Dancin' fools ain't they syncopatin'2?
|
They're a class of their own
|
|
Now the only way to win is to cheat 'em,
|
you may tie 'em but you'll never beat 'em
|
Strut your stuff, they're the cake walkin' babies form home
|
Strut your stuff, strut your stuff, cake walkin' babies from home
|
