Roxy Music - 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 ooh
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
