Lyrics

What can I do for you , my friend ? That’s a common line in London

No clerk thinks customers are real friends

They say , “ I’ll give you discount “ but it’s not discount at all

The price was set higher more than proper one That’s London !

Back to London ! The city of tricks

Back to London The city of entertainment

Back to London So many street performances

Sarcasm and deceptions but still something’s going on !

I was eating sandwiches at 10 Golden square , Soho

Suddenly police came and asked us to evacuate They said , “ We’ve got a suspectful baggage here “

A bomb in the dust bin is a particular feature in London !

Back to London Melting pot of new cultures

Same old messing up in 10 Downing street

Roaming around the tube stations to get free Evening Standard

New sound and plays Still something’s going on !

So many things are brought here Mixed up And spread to the world ! Spread ! Spread !

Oh ! Back to Piccadilly Circus to meet the new sensations

Back to Shaftesbury avenue to check new theatre plays

Back to Camden to find curious scarfs

Back to Hyde Park to enjoy a long walk

Back to Oxford street So many department stores

Back to Baker street station to meet the Holmes’ s figures

Radio and TV , lovely BBC

Back to Waterloo bridge to sing “ Waterloo sunset “

Back to Soho to drop off to nasty spots

Back to Covent garden to enjoy an elegant tea time

Back to British museum to see ancient histories

Back to Charing Cross road to find rare old books

Back to Carnaby street to check the latest fashion

Back to Leicester square Movies and street performances

Back to Camberwell to dance in the latest rave

Well , Back to London ! Still , still something’s going on !!
