[COCKNEYS, spoken]
It's still London
We're still Cockneys
But we've got new information
[sung]
Spilsbury
Remember Bernard Spilsbury?

[PASSER-BY, spoken]
No?

[COCKNEYS]
There's been a slight alteration in his reputation
The nation's irate, I'm quite upset
He spits out errors!
He pukes up lies!
He's the kind of con man we despise
It's Spilsbury, Spilsbury
That phony Bernard Spilsbury

[SPILSBURY & COCKNEYS]
I thought I knew everything about bodies (Spilsbury)
My fall from grace has taken me surprise (That con man Spilsbury)
So what I used to bluff (disgrace)
When I didn't know my stuff (that face)
But now the scalеs have fallen from our eyеs
I used to be revered by everybody (Spilsbury)
But it turns out that I am a fraud (Sir Bernard Spilsbury)
My character's under fire
He's a scoundrel and a liar
Agreed!
And everything I say should be ignored
