London Town 04:21
Kick trash feeling brash out to spend a lot of cash People yawning new day dawning 7am its early morning London Town Get there early beat the rush with my girl I’ve got a crush In the carriage trains a sauna grab a costa on the corner London Town Boris in his Gherkin cooking up ideas and schemes Lording over London bicycles and bendy bus dreams Alan fires apprentices in Canary Wharf Take tea for two with me in the old Waldorf Heading into oxford street loads of cash I won’t be beat London Town People piling through the door human frenzy wanting more London Town Down the Borough market bric a brac and jellied eels And all the Arthur Daley’s pulling off their shady deals Queenies up in Soho counting out the pounds and pence Hiding politicians paying at their own expense Pound around the town Keep up with the pace Tie the deal dow Win the human race Falling out the Ritz Crashing out the clubs To a paparazzi blitz Or…Wormwood scrubs Take a boat up the Thames, ride the wheel it never ends Open bus down park lane spin around the park again London Town Boris in his Gherkin cooking up ideas and schemes Lording over London bicycles and bendy bus dreams Alan fires apprentices in Canary Wharf Take tea for two with me in the old ‘Waldorf’ Down the Borough market bric a brac and jellied eels And all the Arthur Daley’s pulling off their shady deals Queenies up in Soho counting out the pounds and pence Hiding politicians paying at their own expense

I have waited much too long To find out what is right and wrong But you came by and showed me a way To make the most of everyday I have you your every word is true So why do I disagree While you’re here…. I’ve hurt you in so many ways And I don’t call you for days and days But you keep coming back for more For how much longer I’m not sure I have you your every word is true So why do I disagree While you’re here Always here for me…..for me I have you your every word is true So why do I disagree While you’re here I have you, you know me thro’ and thro’ So why do I disagree…while you’re here, while you’re here Always here for me…..for me….for me…

I see her every morning when I get the train She’s got the oompah pah She’s got the oompah pah Something bout’ that woman gets inside my brain She’s got the oompah pah She’s got the oompah pah Is it her hair? Is it her curves? Or the way she walks? Is it her clothes? An English Rose? Or when I hear her talk? She makes me smile, I like her style, my eyes are on a stalk She’s got the oompah pah She’s got the oompah pah She’s got the oompah pah , oompah pah oompah pah! She’s got the oompah pah , oompah pah oompah pah! With just one arch of her brow no matter who you are She’s got you all Gaga, She’s got the oompah pah To my surprise she ends up sitting next to me She’s got the oompah pah, She’s got the oompah pah I start to fidget, start a twitching foolishly She’s got the oompah pah, She’s got the oompah pah She reaches in her bag and slowly grabs her phone It’s time to mind my business, time to mind my own I turn my face away before my covers blown She’s got the oompah pah, She’s got the oompah pah She’s got the oompah pah , oompah pah oompah pah! She’s got the oompah pah , oompah pah oompah pah! With just one arch of her brow no matter who you are She’s got you all Gaga, She’s got the oompah pah Train comes into station we’ve run out of time She’s got the oompah pah, She’s got the oompah pah We’ve reached our destination it’s the end of the line She’s got the oompah pah, She’s got the oompah pah Looks like she’ll go her way and I’ll go mine She leans across and plants a kiss and waves bye bye It’s just a game on trains that girl is really mine We have a secret sign, we play it all the time We’ve got the oompah pah oompah pah oompah pah We’ve got the oompah pah oompah pah oompah pah Just one arch of her brow no matter who you are She’s got you all Gaga, She’s got the oompah pah She’s got the oompah pah , oompah pah oompah pah! She’s got the oompah pah , oompah pah oompah pah! With just one arch of her brow no matter who you are She’s got you all Gaga, She’s got the oompah pah She’s got the oompah pah , oompah pah oompah pah! She’s got the oompah pah , oompah pah oompah pah! With just one arch of her brow no matter who you are She’s got you all Gaga, She’s got the oompah pah
