Noël Coward
London (Is a Little Bit of All Right)
(Verse)
I was born and bred in London
It's the only city I know
Though it’s foggy and cold and wet
I'd be willing to take a bet
That there ain't no other place I’d want to go
Believe me
(Chorus 1)
London is a little bit of all right
Nobody can deny that's true
Bow bells, Big Ben
Up to the Heath and down again
And if you should visit the monkeys in the zoo
Bring a banana
Feed the ducks in Battersea Park or take a trip to Kew
It only costs a tanner there and back
Watch our lads in the palace yard
Troop the color and change the guard
And don't forget your brolly and your mack
And I'd like to mention London is a place where you can call right round
And have a cozy cup of tea
If you're fed right up and got your tail right down
Then London town
Is a wonderful place to be
(Chorus 2)
London is a little bit of all right
Nobody can deny that's so
Big Ben, bowl bells
Have a good laugh and watch the swells
Treating themselves to a trot on Rotten Row
Sitting on horses
Grosvenor Square or Petticoat Lane, Belgravia, Peckham Rye
You can stray through any neighborhood
If you haven't a swanky club
Just pop into the nearest pub
A little of what you fancy does you good
And I'd like to mention London is a place where you can call right round
And have a cozy cup of tea
If you use your loaf and bit and know what’s what
Then this old spot
Is a bloody good place to be
