Irving Berlin - The Syncopated Walk lyrics

[1st 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 [Refrain:] 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 doing it too Because it's done by ev'ryone 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 exercise They take a syncopated walk [2nd 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 fine day E'er you know you'll go If you don't think it's so
