IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Learn To Do The Strut

[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
