The song and dance were also popular in the U.S. in the late 30s.

Any time you're Lambeth way
Any evening any day
You'll find us all
Doing the Lambeth Walk.

The dance was somewhat atypical in that the partners at least part of
the time would dance (walk) side by side--like soldiers marching--rather
than face to face as in the fox trot or waltz.
