Bryan Ferry - Do the Strand lyrics

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 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 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 oases
Eskimos and Chinese

If you feel blue look through Who's Who
See La Goulue and Nijinsky do the Strandsky
Weary of the Waltz
And mashed potato schmaltz

Rhododendron is a nice flower
Evergreenin' it lasts forever
But it can't beat Strand power
The Sphynx and Mona Lisa lolita and Guernica
Did the Strand
