The Lambeth Walk was a popular song in the Anglosphere in the late 1930s and through the war years of 1939-1945. It was the runaway success song from the West End musical "Me and My Gal", which premiered in 1937. The dance and accompanying song was a big 30s and 40s fad which went from one end of the Atlantic Ocean to the other. It was so popular that even Queen Elizabeth and King George became fans of it, and went to see "Me and My Gal" several times while it was in theaters.

This song is worked out entirely by ear. I apologise for any wonky chords or notes.

LYRICS:

Anytime you're Lambeth way,
Any evening, any day,
You'll find us all,
Doing the Lambeth Walk! (Oi!)

Every little Lambeth gal,
With her little Lambeth pal,
You'll find them all,
Doing the Lambeth Walk! (Oi!)

Everything's free and easy,
Do as you darn well pleasy,
Why don't you make your way there?
Go there,
Stay there!

Anytime your Lambeth way,
Any evening, any day,
You'll find yourself,
Doing the Lambeth Walk (Oi!)

Anytime you're Lambeth Way,
Any evening, any day,
You'll find us all,
Doing the Lambeth...
Doing the Lambeth...
Doing the Lambeth WALK! (Oi!)
