cake walking babies (from home) - clarence williams' blue five lyrics

here they come, those strutting syncopaters
goin’ some, look at those demonstraters
talk of the town, green and brown
pickin’ ’em up and layin’ ’em down
why you’re 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 your stuff, boy, you won’t do nothin’ different
cake walking babies from home!
