Text: Alphaville. Crazyshow - Disc 2: Last Summer On Earth. Do The Strand.

(Bryan Ferry)

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 prefers
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

We're playing our tune by the pale moon
We're incognito down the Lido
And we like the strand
Had your fill of quadrilles, the madison and cheap thrills
Bored with the beguine, the samba isn't your scene
If you feel blue look through who's who
See La Goulue and Nijinsky
Do the strandsky
Weary of the waltz, mashed potato schmaltz
The Sphinx and Mona Lisa, Lolita and Guernica
Rhododendron is a nice flower
Evergreen it lasts forever
But it can't beat the strand power
Do the strand
