Lambeth Walk

Music: Noel Gay Words: Douglas Furber & Arthur Rose

(F) Any (Bb) time you're (F) Lambeth way, Any (D7) evening, (Gm) Any day, You'll find us (Gm7) all (C7) doin' the Lambeth (F) Walk (C7) Oi!

Ev'ry little Lambeth gal, With her little Lambeth pal, You'll find 'em all Doin' the Lambeth walk.

(Dm7) Every thing (G7) free and (C) easy, (G7) Do as you darn well (C) pleasey, (Am) Why don't you (D7) make your (C) way there, (Dm7) go (G7) there, (Gm7) stay (C7) there.

Once you get down Lambeth way, Ev'ry evening, Ev'ry day, You'll find yourself Doin' the Lambeth Walk. Oi!

Note: The Oi! Is shouted, not sung, with GREAT enthusiasm and accompanied with an upward thrust of the thumb of either hand (as if in hitch-hiking)

(I hope I did this right!)

Malvina Reynolds wrote the song about the Lambeth (Ontario) children. Lambeth isn't far from London, Ont. I stop at a Tim Horton's there when I go between Detroit and Stratford. I've never asked about the trees and the kids.

I take it that the message above is a request for the bass guitar part of Lambeth Walk.
Anyone?

From Wikipedia:

" 'The Lambeth Walk' is a song from the 1937 musical Me and My Girl (with book and lyrics by Douglas Furber and L. Arthur Rose and music by Noel Gay). The song takes its name from a local street once notable for its street market and working class culture in Lambeth, an area of London, England.

"The tune gave its name to a Cockney dance first made popular in 1937 by Lupino Lane. The story line of the original show concerns a Cockney barrow boy who inherits an earldom but almost loses his Lambeth girlfriend."

The article goes on to say that the song gave rise to a dance fad that was roundly condemned by the Nazis, which I suppose is a good enough reason to sing it and dance it.

The Lambeth Walk is mentioned in a Nero Wolfe story involving an enigmatic Balkan princess.

You can hear a nifty piano-roll version of it here:

It's fun to listen to its retro musical features.
