Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Lambeth you’ve never seen
The skies ain’t blue, the grass ain’t green
It hasn’t got the Mayfair touch
But that don’t matter very much
We play the Lambeth way
Not like you but a bit more gay
And when we have a bit of fun
Oh, boy!
Chorus:
Any time you’re Lambeth way
Any evening, any day
You’ll find us all
Doin’ the Lambeth walk
Every little Lambeth gal
With her little Lambeth pal
You’ll find ’em all
Doin’ the Lambeth walk (Hoy!)
Everything free and easy
Do as you darn well pleasey
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
Doin’ the Lambeth walk (Hoy!)
