Try to forget your troubles tonight,
Just think you don't know how to fight,
Make coon town talk 'bout this cake walk
not such a hot time happened before,
watch dat bees wax melt on de floor,
dese coons are cake walk professors
an' they're all real Dusky Dudes.

Just see dem

Coons promenadin'
hear dat band!
Black belles paradin'
dressed so grand!
An' from de benches
swell coons and wenches
cheerin' loudly an' proudly
for dese Dusky Dudes

Coons promenadin'
hear dat band!
Black belles paradin'
dressed so grand!
An' from de benches
swell coons and wenches
cheerin' loudly an' proudly
for dese Dusky Dudes

Judges are weary tryin' to guess
which coon team can cake walk de bes'
it's hard to tell
all walk so well
whatever gent gets dis cake for his
dat coon knows what cakewalkin' is,
he's just de best in de bus'ness,
if he beats these Dusky Dudes.

Just see dem

Coons promenadin'
hear dat band!
Black belles paradin'
dressed so grand!
An' from de benches
swell coons and wenches
cheerin' loudly an' proudly
for dese Dusky Dudes

Coons promenadin'
hear dat band!
Black belles paradin'
dressed so grand!
An' from de benches
swell coons and wenches
cheerin' loudly an' proudly
for dese Dusky Dudes
