Why, for days and days and days and
E
D
G
days and days and days and days
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
F
I'm waking here too. The adjunct in general said,
Jimmy,
you've been invited to entertain
C
at the White House.
G
He said it'll be a gathering of
the intelligentsia,
A
G
the hoi polloi, the 400, the 500,
the 600, the 700, the 800.
How do you like that?
D
Everywhere you go, critics.
Then he said, Jimmy,
what'll you do
when you're called upon to entertain?
C#
G
I said, Mr. Adjutant General,
what'll I do?
I'll tell you.
Why, in the midst of festivities,
I'll get up, I'll get up,
Am
and do my strut away,
in my cutaway.
C
Am
It's just a hop away, a slide away,
D
G
and a scram away.
A
G
And then you skidder right down,
and you go to town with a twist away.
Now when you strut away,
C
this away, it's a holiday.

with a girl named Su zette,

into a hot radiator.

C
G
Am
Zip! Crap! Suzette!
C
D
It's a dance that's going to

A beautiful girl invited me
up to her apartment
Ab
to teach her this dance.
C
Am
I wasn't in the apartment ten minutes,
D
G
when who walks in, her husband,
kind of perturbed.
He said, what are you doing here?

I said, I'm putting on my white tie,

A
I'm putting on my top hat,
Dm
I'm putting on my top coat
G

To make my getaway,

doing the strut away
G
C
A
Did you ever have the feeling
that you wanted to do the strut away?
D
G
The hop away? The scram away?

And then you skitter right down
and you go to town doing the strut away
D
The hop away?
G
The scram away?
C
G
Bb
Once more, you know folks,
D
F
I'm happy to tell you that I just bought
D
a brand new convertible coupe.
C
G
Eats gads what a car.
You push a button,
the top stays where it is,
but the bottom falls out.
So what did I do?
C
Am
I did the crawl away,
C
not the strut away.
A
Did you ever have the feeling
that you wanted to do the strut away?
D
The hop away?
G
The scram away?
A
And then you skitter right down
and you go to town
Doing the strut away,
D
G
the hop away, the scram away
Once more!
