Cake Walking Babies From Home - Clarence Williams

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'?

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
