Strut Miss Lizzie by Lulu Whidby Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At the barber's ball in the barber's hall
All the dusky belles were there
Such a glancing, prancing, strutting and dancing
They were doing for fair
All the belles and beaus prancing on their toes
Tried to do the cake walk swell
When a midnight blonde came prancing on
They were loud to yell
[Chorus]
Won't you strut Miss Lizzie, get busy
Want to see you walk
For the folks all state the way you syncopate
Is the whole town talk
You move so pretty, it's a pity
The other girlies frown
But the men you meet
Like the way you shake your feet
Oh you knock them dizzy
Strut Miss Lizzie Brown
[Verse 2]
They were steppin' sweet, they were steppin' neat
They were steppin' super fine
To the singing, swinging, fancy pigeon winging
They were falling in line
Every dame and dude struck an attitude
For to win the cake they tried
But when Lizzie Brown came prancing round
Everybody cried
[Chorus]
Won't you strut Miss Lizzie, get busy
Want to see you walk
For the folks all state the way you syncopate
Is the whole town talk
You move so pretty, it's a pity
The other girlies frown
But the men you meet
Like the way you shake your feet
Oh you knock them dizzy
Strut Miss Lizzie Brown
[Bridge]
Go down the street by the school
Pat your feet you steppin' fool
Strut your stuff, use your "Kerch"
Trot your tootsies by the church
Through the alley, dodge the cans
Shake Miss Sally's pots and pans
Cool your dogs, we're coming through
Get set for Lenox Avenue
[Chorus]
Won't you strut Miss Lizzie, get busy
Want to see you walk
For the folks all state the way you syncopate
Is the whole town talk
You move so pretty, it's a pity
The other girlies frown
But the men you meet
Like the way you shake your feet
Oh you knock them dizzy
Strut Miss Lizzie Brown
At the barber's ball in the barber's hall
All the dusky belles were there
Such a glancing, prancing, strutting and dancing
They were doing for fair
All the belles and beaus prancing on their toes
Tried to do the cake walk swell
When a midnight blonde came prancing on
They were loud to yell
[Chorus]
Won't you strut Miss Lizzie, get busy
Want to see you walk
For the folks all state the way you syncopate
Is the whole town talk
You move so pretty, it's a pity
The other girlies frown
But the men you meet
Like the way you shake your feet
Oh you knock them dizzy
Strut Miss Lizzie Brown
[Verse 2]
They were steppin' sweet, they were steppin' neat
