The Stroll
Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come let's stroll, stroll across the floor,
Come let's stroll, stroll across the floor,
Now turn around baby,
Let's stroll some more

Feels so good, take me by my hand.
Feels so good, take me by my hand.
And let's go strolling in wonderland,

Whoa, yeah, uh-huh, stroll, strollin'
Well, rock my soul how I love to stroll.

There's my love, strolling in the door.




There's my love, strolling in the door.
Baby, let's go strolling by the candy store.
