Lyrics Cake Walkin' Babies from Home - 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
business,
not
a
soul
can
compare
Here
they
come,
look
at
'em
demonstratin'
Goin'
some,
ain't
they
syncopatin'
Talk
o'
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
cake
walkin'
babies
from
home
Oh,
here
they
come,
look
at
'em
syncopatin'
Goin'
some,
ain't
they
demonstratin'
Talk
o'
the
town,
teasin'
brown
They
pickin'
'em
up
and
layin'
'em
down
Dancin'
fools,
ain't
they
syncopatin'
They
in
a
class
of
their
own
Oh,
the
only
way
to
win
is
to
cheat
'em
You
may
tie
'em
but
you'll
never
beat
'em
Strut
your
stuff,
strut
your
stuff
Cake
walkin'
babies
from
home
