The Lambeth Walk
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 spare
in grandma's home i climbed the stairs
i reached the attic at the top
oh, what a sight i had to stop
books, pictures, junk galore, it looked just like a jumble store
lots of records everywhere
wished i could play them there
Then with grandma in a dream
i was on the thirties sceen
there was her old portable gramophone
turned the handles and it play
all the songs of yesterday
charleston and waltz rumbas and swings of course
But top of all the back there
high up the union jack there
making you want to sing
god save the king
Learned the lyrics, learned 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 sing or talk it lambeth walk it
Anytime you're lambeth way
any evening, any day
you'll find us all doing the lambeth walk
every little lambeth gal
with her little lambeth pal
you'll find them all
doing the lambeth walk
Everythings free and easy
do as you darn well pleasy
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, hey!
Once you get down lambeth way
every evening, every day
you'll find yourself doing
the lambeth walk, hey!
