Lyrics

Here they come, those strutting syncopators
Goin' some, look at those demonstrators
Talk of the town, Green and Brown
Pickin' 'em up and layin' 'em down
Prancing fools, that’s what they like to call ’em
They’re in a class all alone!
The only way for them to lose is to cheat ’em
You may tie them but you’ll never beat them!
Strut that stuff, they don’t do nothin’ different
Cake walking babies from home!
Written by: Chris Smith, Clarence Williams, Henry Troy
