Lyrics Bryan Ferry

Bryan Ferry

Do The Strand

There's a new sensation, a fabulous creation

A danceable solution to teenage revolution

Do the Strand love when you feel love

It's the new way and that's why we say

Do the Strand

Do it on the tables, Quaglino's place or Mabel's

Slow and gentle, sentimental

All styles served here, Louis Seize he prefer

Laissez-faire Le Strand

Tired of the tango, fed up with fandango

Dance on moonbeams and slide on rainbows

In furs or blue jeans, you know what I mean

Do the Strand

Had your fill of Quadrilles, the Madison and cheap thrills

Bored with the Beguine, the samba isn't your scene

They're playing our tune by the pale moon

We're incognito down the Lido

And we like the Strand

Arabs at oasis, Eskimos and Chinese

If you feel blue, look through Who's Who

See La Goulue and Nijinsky

Do the Strandski

Weary of the waltz

And mashed potato schmaltz

Rhododendron is a nice flower

Evergreen it lasts forever

But it can't beat Strand power

The Sphinx and Mona Lisa

Lolita and Guernica

Did the Strand
