Do The Strand
Composer(s): Brian Ferry
First release by: Roxy Music - 1973
and multiple other artists
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 and 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 prefer Laissez faire 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 oases 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 last forever
But it can't beat strand power
The Sphynx and Mona Lisa
Lolita and Guernica
Do The Hula Composer(s): Don McDiarmid Performer(s): Nã Leo Pilimehana
Way out there in mid-Pacific They have some funny notions One of them is most terrific You have to talk with motions
Do the hula If there's anything you'd like to say It's the only way You'll find that a trip around the island is fun When once you`ve begun
Tell of the moon above so high The humuhumunukunuku go swimming by Talk about the boys all hurrying back To the little brown gal in the little grass shack
Do the hula If you`d like to whisper I love you It's the thing to do Picking flowers gets them everytime In a tropic clime
When you walk on the silvery sands You'll never have to talk Simply use your hands
Do the hula Go into your dance Do the hula Along the road to romance
Look at the mirror over there, what do you see? Tell yourself a lie Are you as old as you seem? Feel something that you have to Being open, an innocent, wise only when Age can mellow the haste New hopes, ambitions undone - you're only as old as you're young
Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes slipping away where no-one knows Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring always understand one life it goes
Never as old as you're young and everything still yet to find Dreams not realized Thoughts rising, duties and vows continue, can't wait for you
Now is the day, tomorrow comes without an end Mark time follow the sun - you're only as old as you're young
Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes slipping away where no-one knows Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring always understand one life it goes
So as you look around, look at the things you knew Never seeking the past Forget all the things you have done - you're only as old as you're young Still open eyed and promises never quite complete Working head in the air The coming of age never comes - You're only as old as you're young
Do The Funky Chicken Composer(s): Rufus Thomas Performer(s): Rufus Thomas
Y'all come on in now Come right on down front I got something I want to show you Now y'all heard of the Popcorn Y'all heard of the Dog You heard about all your other dances But now there's a brand new dance That's going around I want to show you exactly what I'm talking about I'm talking about the funky chicken, y'all ready?
You raise the left arm up and your right arm too Let me tell you just what to do Start both of 'em to flapping You start your feet to kicking That's when you know You doin' the funky chicken
You put both arms up across your face You knees start wiggling all over the place You flap your arms and your feet start kicking Then you know you doin' the funky chicken
Oh, I'm feeling it now I feel so unnecessary This is the kind This is the kind of stuff To make you feel like you Want to do something nasty Like waste some chicken gravy On your white shirt Right down front here we go y'all
You work both arms and you work both feet Use a dab of gravy, you right on the beat You flap your arms And your feet start kicking Then you know you doin' the funky chicken

Olha as minhas meninas As minhas meninas Pra onde é que elas vão Se já saem sozinhas As notas da minha canção Vão as minhas meninas Levando destinos Tão iluminados de sim Passam por mim E embaraçam as linhas Da minha mão
As meninas são minhas Só minhas na minha ilusão Na canção cristalina Da mina da imaginação Pode o tempo Marcar seus caminhos Nas faces Com as linhas Das noites de não E a solidão Maltratar as meninas As minhas não
As meninas são minhas Só minhas As minhas meninas Do meu coração

Do The Best You Can
Composer(s): Allan Clarke - Tony Hicks - Graham Nash
Performer(s): The Hollies
When you come across
The guy who thinks he's boss
Yet never knows the reason why
He won't let you pass
Won't answer things you ask
He's got his orders do or die
Someone said to me
If you tip the doorman heavily
His doors will open wide for you
Goes to show what money can do
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Please be kind to those
Who fail to comprehend
And in time who knows
You'll maybe make a friend
If you leave your car
And you're not going far
Remember what time to be back
If it slips your mind
I'm sure in time you'll find
A Rita waiting in a mac
Someone said to me
If you tip the doorman heavily
His doors will open wide for you
Goes to show what money can do
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Do the best you can
