Lead singer Bryan Ferry has described his idea for ‘Do The Strand’ as:
[…] being that of the ‘dance of life’ – thus bringing to mind earlier dance phenomena, such as the avant garde passion and exuberance of both The Ballets Russes and the controversial Jazz Age dance craze, ‘The Charleston’.

Do the Strand Lyrics
[Intro]
There's a new sensation
A fabulous creation
A danceable solution
To teenage revolution
[Verse 1]
Do the Strand, love
When you feel love
It's the new way
That's why we say
"Do the Strand"
[Chorus 1]
Do it on the tables
Quaglino's place or Mabel's
[Verse 2]
Slow and gentle
Sentimental
All styles served here
Louis Seize he prefer
Laissez-faire Le Strand
[Chorus 2]
Tired of the Tango
Fed up with Fandango
[Verse 3]
Dance on moonbeams
Slide on rainbows
In furs or blue jeans
You know what I mean
Do the Strand
Ooh
[Bridge]
Had your fill of Quadrilles
The Madison and cheap thrills
Bored with the Beguine
The Samba isn't your scene
[Verse 4]
They're playing our tune
By the pale moon
We're incognito
Down the Lido
And we like the Strand
[Chorus 3]
Arabs at oases
Eskimos and Chinese
[Verse 5]
If you feel blue
Look through Who's Who
See La Goulue
And Nijinsky
Do the Strandsky
[Chorus 4]
Weary of the Waltz
And mashed potato schmaltz
[Verse 6]
Rhododendron
Is a nice flower
Evergreenin'
It lasts forever
But it can't beat Strand power
[Outro]
The Sphynx and Mona Lisa
Lolita and Guernica
