This is a Cockney Classic, from the 1937 British musical "For Me And My Girl". I've always loved the tune that goes with this simple dance, which crowds on the street would "walk" to! "Any night, any day, you'll find us all, Doin' the Lambeth Walk...HOY!" Holly, did you ever do the Lambeth Walk? I tried to transfer this to the Forum but couldn't Hal
Absolutely love this song - reminds me of my days nearby "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, Lambeth Walk, once notable for its street market and working class culture in Lambeth, an area of London. The tune gave its name to a Cockney dance made popular in 1937 by Lupino Lane.
Do any of you Brits remember this delightful dance tune from the 1939 British musical "Me and my Girl"? The dance itself is simple...you just walk! But to me, it's the tune that's delightful! (Lambeth itself is a district of London) There are several videos on YouTube, from the 1939 version to he 1968 remake. Hal
Nancy, YOU CAN LEARN! My wife and I leaned to do Ballroom Dance steps by attending evening classes held in local schools or community centers. If you don't have a partner, there are rotating partners, so nobody is left out! We learned the Waltz, the Fox Trot, the Cha-Cha, the Tango, and the Swing, which is the standard Rock & Roll dance.

That pair could have been a bit more jaunty and she sounded like an 'orse, cloppin' about Love the song and I was born up the road from Lambeth Walk
Tom, that is the best performance of the Lambeth Walk I've ever seen! The Leader has that fine Cockney accent, too! Thanks for posting it! HOY!
