THE LAMBETH WALK Paroles et musique: N. Gay, D. Furber, N. Newell, 1979
Hello Dalida
Hello
What are you doing?
I'm dancing
Dancing the fox-trot, the polka?
No, no i'm dancing the lambeth walk
What?
The lambeth walk!
One day with time to spend
In grandma's home I climbed the stairs
I reached the attic at the top
Oh what a sight I had to stop
Looks, pictures, junk galore, it looks just like a jumble store
Lots of records everywhere
Which they could play then there
Then refrained but in a dream
I was on the thirteen scene
There was a row for double gramophone
Turn the handles and it plays
All the sounds of yesterday
Charleston and waltzes rumbas and swings of course
But topical the backstairs
I have the union jack there
Making you want to sing
God save the King
Learn the lyrics, learn the tunes
Started dancing round the room
Oh! That's a new
Doing the lambeth walk
It was a big sensation
Just like a celebration
You either sings or talk it lambeth walking
Anytime you lambeth way
Any evening, any day
You'll find us all doing the lambeth walk
Every little lambeth ground
With our little lambeth park
You'll find then all
Doing the lambeth walk
Every things free and easy
Do as you've done well it's easy
Why don't you make your way there
Go there stay there
Once you get down lambeth way
Every evening, every day
You'll find yourself
Doing the lambeth walk
Once you get down lambeth way
Every evening, every day
You'll find yourself doing
The lambeth walk
