Cake Walking Babies From Home [Russian translation]

Cakewalkers may come and cakewalkers may go,

But listen to me tell you 'bout a couple I know,

High stepping pair, I say they're there,

When they're out for business, not a soul can compare!

Here they come, those strutting syncopators,

Going some, look at those demonstraters,

Talk of the town, Green and Brown,

Picking 'em up and laying 'em down!

Prancing fools, that's what I'd like to call 'em,

They're in a class all alone,

The only way for 'em to lose is to cheat 'em,

You may tie 'em but you'll never beat 'em,

Strut their stuff, they don't do nothing diff'rent,

Cakewalking Babies from home!
