Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a new sensation
A fabulous creation
A danceable solution
To teenage revolution
[Verse 2]
Do the strand, love
When you feel love
It's the new way
That's why we say
Do the strand
[Verse 3]
Do it on the tables
Quaglino's place or Mabel's
[Verse 4]
Slow and gentle
Sentimental
All styles served here
Louis Seize, he prefer
Laissez-faire le strand
[Verse 5]
Tired of the tango
Fed up with fandango
[Verse 6]
Dance on moonbeams
Slide on rainbows
In furs or blue jeans
You know what I mean
Do the strand
[Verse 7]
Had your fill of quadrilles
The Madison and cheap thrills
Bored with the beguine
The Samba isn't your scene
[Verse 8]
They're playing our tune
By the pale moon
We're incognito
Down the Lido
And we like the strand
[Verse 9]
Arabs at Oasis
Eskimos and Chinese
[Verse 10]
If you feel blue
Look through Who's Who
See La Goulue
And Nijinsky
Do the Strandsky
[Verse 11]
Weary of the waltz
And mashed potato schmaltz
[Verse 12]
Rhododendron
Is a nice flower
Evergreenin'
It lasts forever
But it can't beat strand power
[Verse 13]
The Sphynx and Mona Lisa
Lolita and Guernica
Did the strand
