Learn To Do The Strut 1923

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 lancers.

But you ought to 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 easytodo 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 youself struttin' around.
