a danceable solution to teenage revolution.

it´s the new way, that´s why we say, do the Strand.

All styles served here, Louis Seize we prefer,
laissez-faire Le Strand.
3. 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.

4. 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.
5. Arabs at oasis, Eskimos and Chinese,
if you feel blue, look through Who´s Who.
See La Goulue, and Nijinsky,
do the Strandsky.
6. 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.
