| 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 |
