Cake Walkin' Babies from Home - Bessie Smith

作词：C. Smith/H. Troy/Clarence Williams

作曲：C. Smith/H. Troy/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 business 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

Oh

Here they come look at 'em syncopatin'

Goin' some ain't they demonstratin'

Talk of the town teasin' brown

It pickin'

Them 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 but you'll never beat 'em

Strut your stuff

Strut your stuff
