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
