Do The Strand

Roxy Music · Concerto [2005]

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 says 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 oasis, 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

Evergreen, it lasts forever

But it can't beat Strand power



The Sphynx and Mona Lisa, Lolita and Guernica

Did the Strand
