Nowadays the striking craze is spreading everywhere;
it's in the air,
it's so contagious,
strange to say it's found its way where dancing lovers go;
I'll have you know,
the latest rage is:

Strike! It's all the latest fashion now to strike!
Come on and let me show you how to
Glide from side to side,
then take a hop Stop!
There! Now you're doing it;
Strike! We're teaching ev'ryone in town to strike!
It's something that we know you're bound to like,
and soon you'll all be dancing 'round to strike!

Strike! It's all the latest fashion now to strike!
Come on and let me show you how to
Glide from side to side,
then take a hop Stop!
There! Now you're doing it;
Strike! We're teaching ev'ryone in town to strike!
It's something that we know you're bound to like,
and soon you'll all be dancing 'round to strike!

[Dance:]

They've gone made about this fad
in smart society;

quite to their liking,
at affairs of millionaires
and at the "tea dansante"
the debutantes are always striking.
