All assassinations have leather and lace
All this fascination with leather and lace
Come on, baby, won't you take it, let's go.
Come on, baby, whatcha taking me for.
Hey, why don't stop a speeding train
Before it reaches its destination?
Stand here in the hallway, you have someone true
And stay away from your true location.
Honey, don't stop a speeding train
Before it reaches its destination
Lie down here beside me, oh, have some fun too
Don't turn away from your true vocation.
Standing in the half light, I'll have some fun too
Lie down here beside me, oh have some fun too
Struck it out
Strut it out
Strut, hot, put it out
That's what you want from women.
Strut, pout, put it out
That's what you want from women.
I found the lyrics for this song PRINTED incorrectly in several places. One was in the sheet music for piano and guitar! It always deals with the word after 'Strut'. I've seen it in print as 'hot' and 'pow', but the correct word is 'pout'.
Strut, pow, put it out,
that's what you want from women
Strut, pout, put it out,
that's what you want from women
Strut, slut, put it out I'll take it if you give it
Strut, pout, put it out That's what you want from women
Stuck, get me out
Strut, cut it out
Stut, pout, pull it out, all takin' and no givin'
Watch the baby while I walk out the door.
Strut pout, cut it out, all taking and no giving
Watch me baby as I walk out the door.
