Lyrics to Struttin' Ground

Sugar Kandy
On their lips
Dresses of
Electric blue
They saved up
They gave up meals
Now arm in arm
They move downtown

On the buses
On the tubes
Planning the
First dance they'll do
In their nine inch
Plastic heels
Moving on the
Struttin' Ground

Forget the office
Forget the shop
Pop strut hustle dazzle
Boogie bop
Stomp bump reggae boogie
No can stop
They go 'round and 'round and 'round
They do love their
Struttin' Ground

Stomping pounding
Celebrate
Five day death
But they've come through
And maybe Monday
Won't arrive
If they kill it
With the stomp and pound

Hate the bosses
Hate the place
Hate the kind of
Work they do
The only time
They come alive
Is bopping on the
Struttin' Ground


Forget the office
Forget the shop
Pop strut hustle dazzle
Boogie bop
Stomp bump reggae boogie
No can stop
They go 'round and 'round and 'round
They do love their
Struttin' Ground
