V1.

I walk out and stand in-a my front yard,

It's plain to see that the times are hard.

What's a man to do when he's had enough?

You put on your boots and you strut your stuff.



V2.

I bet on the market, that done crashed.

I bought me a house, but it ain't worth trash.

Baby, I don't care, long as I stay tough.

'Till it turns around, I'm gonna strut my stuff.



CHORUS:

Come on, strut your stuff.



V3.

I got a call today from the hometown bank,

And I got no fuel left in the tank.

Well the scene looks bad but sure enough,

Gonna go out today and strut my stuff.



CHORUS:

Come on, strut your stuff.



V4.

At the crack of dawn you know you get on up,

You put the hot black coffee in your cup.

You say a little prayer should the day get rough,

Then you step on out, man, and strut your stuff
