Here are the sheet music lyrics by Don Raye, ca. 1941 or 1950:

(Struttin' with some) Barbeque/   //swingin' with the
   band,/// ||like the happy 
People do,/   way down in Dixie   land.///   || Hear that ol' trom-
//bone/   / and the trumpet ad-   lib.///   | love to hear the
Lick/ while I do my   pickin',//
   pickin' on a Juley rib.   `Cause I'm struttin' with some
-------------------------------- 
Barbeque,/    //feelin' mighty   grand.///   ||pass another
Helpin', please,/   // of that   good ol' dixie-   land./ And mister
Waiter/, if you   please/ another   rib or two;/   /and I'll go
Strut, strut, struttin', strut-   tin' with some barbe-   cue.///   ///|
