| Text of Song | First Verse: Strange, but there's a change in how the people walk these days. Yes! You must confess that ever since the dancing craze ev'rybody has a syncopated walk. Where it's in the air you'll find them swaying as they go. Smile but all the while you must admit that it is so for they do they do. If you don't think it's true - Chorus: Look at 'em doin' it, look at em' doin' it, that syncopated walk. Look at 'em doin' it, look at em' doin' it, I know who introduced it. Wait'll he reaches you, Wait'll he teaches you that syncopated walk. You'll be singing it too. Because it's done by ev'ry one, you'll find it's international, that irrational step. It's full of "pep" full of "pep" and in the morning when they rise for their morning exericise they take a syncopated walk. Second Verse: Say what e'er you may, it's in the air without a doubt. You will do it too. Before you know what you're about, you'll be walking with a syncopated walk. Don't you say you won't because you don't know what you say. Friend, you can depend that it will strike you some find day, e'er you know, you'll go. If you don't think it's true - |
