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.
