[Verse:] There's a brand new step That they call the strut Listen, my dear, you'll make a dancing "rep" If you do the strut Anyone here can do it There's nothing to it I know that you have done Ev'ryone Of the diff'rent dances The waltz and the lanciers But [Refrain:] You oughta learn to do the strut You'd better leave your house or hut Before the dancing halls are shut And you will go right off your nut 'Bout that new step That easy to do step If you'll be led I'll show you how it's done Just throw back your head And then You step around just like a hen To all the girls and dancing men I wanna say just once again It isn't hard to do so when You've begun it Don't stop till you've done it A jazzy tune and pretty soon You're gonna find yourself struttin' around
