Lyrics

I’m going down to Londontown

Please look me up cuz I’m going down

Oh and the joys that can be found

In the square mile and all around



and though I’ve never been there I heard they say it rains every other day

But we’ll just take the Tube and make our way

and we’ll visit the tower that once ruled and see the Crown Jewels

Just like out-of-towner tourist fools, nothin better to do



I’m going down to Londontown

South England keeps on sinking down

Oh no it’s post glacial rebound

If the Thames floods we all might drown



And we’ll catch a live show at the Borderline and have a real good time

Soho moves in rhythm and in rhyme

And we simply must call us a cabbie to see Westminster Abby

now Isaac Newtons tomb is not too shabby

Come with me let’s go and see



Londontown oh sweet Londontown

La la la la London



Romans in 43AD were not the first people, it was the Britons

Vikings had ravaged the land until Alfred the great king of Anglo-Saxons

William the Conqueror’s Norman invasion crowned him as the king of England

King James commissioned the Scriptures be translated from their original tongues

Isaac Watts wrote hymns of doctoral substance with words that reflected the heart

Charles Haddon Spurgeon would preach to the masses like painting a fine work of art

1908, 1948, 2012 the Olympics were held

Sebastian Coe and Kelly Holmes could run a bit faster than everyone else

Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, Tottenham Hotspurs, West Ham United ...football

Buckingham palace, Kensington Gardens, Tower Bridge and the Royal Albert Hall

Everyone knows that The Eye isn’t one of those two things recessed in your head

I am perceiving and always believing that London’s best days are ahead.
