Cake Walkin' Babies From Home Lyrics - Careless Love - Bessie Smith

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 form home 

Strut your stuff, strut your stuff, cake walkin' babies from home
