Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Tune in on your radio
You jazzy folks turn on your dial
You’ll hear a brand new strut
Will you go off your nut?
I declare you won’t do nothin’ else but
If you want the blues to go
Just give this hot ditty a trial
You ain’t had nothin’ yet
On your receivin’ set
Like this tune I’ll bet
Chorus
That’s it, that’s the Static Strut
Some hit! Not op’ratic, but
That sizzlin’ harmony and that melody
Has a kick just like a carload of T. N. T.
Mister, keep repeatin’ it
Sister, how you sweeten it
Wear out my battery
Only play for me
That erratic, red-hot Static Strut
- Baby, do you crave to romp?
You’d better come to Sweet Papa
Don’t hesitate no more
Step out upon the floor
Steppin’ is the thing this was written for
Do you crave to do the Stomp?
Or maybe you Charleston instead
Let the hot music flow
Out of that radio
Come baby, let’s go
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein.
