THIS LONDON, THIS LONDON

IT TAKES A BRAVE MAN TO CROSS OVER THE SEA
TO BUILD A NEW LIFE AND ESCAPE POVERTY
TO WORK AT AJOB FOR A MINIMUM WAGE
WHILE HOPING HIS CHILDREN WILL SEE BETTER DAYS

chorus; LET'S DRINK TO THE IRISH CARIBBEANS AND JEWS
              THE EAST EUROPEANS CHINESE AND HINDUS
              THE SOMALIS BENGALIS TURKS AND THE GREEKS
              THE AFRICANS SCOTS ITALIANS AND SIKHS
              THIS LONDON THIS LONDON IS A WONDERFUL PLACE
              THE CITY OF DREAMS FOR THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE

THE BUILDERS THE TAILORS THE DOCTORS THE COOKS
THE LAWYERS THE NURSES AND THE KEEPERS OF BOOKS
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD THEY CAME HERE TO TRADE
AND THAT'S HOW THE CITY OF LONDON WAS MADE

                                         chorus

IT HURTS ME TO SAY THERE'S SOME PEOPLE WHO TRY
TO DIVIDE OUR GREAT CITY WITH HATRED AND LIES
BUT WE ARE ONE PEOPLE FROM SO MANY LANDS
AND THE SPIRIT OF LONDON IS SAFE IN OUR HANDS

                                         chorus
