I was born on the streets of London
I was raised by the river Thames
From the leafy charms of Chiswick Park
To the V1 battered brick of Mile End
I was schooled by the streets of London
She imbued me with her history
From the growing flames of Pudding Lane
To the gospel of the BBC
So London be good to me
And I’ll be good to you
I don’t think you ever want to change
Your London point of view
I was raised on the streets of London
I see figures through the walls of fog
I see the shape of the ripper as he runs amok
‘Neath the shroud of the Whitechapel smog
I was taught by the streets of London
Felt the heat of the Brixton riots
Saw William Wilberforce become a tour de force
And change the slave trade in 1833
So London be good to me
And I’ll be good to you
I don’t think you ever want to change
Your London point of view
Ben ring out your bells
It seems the time has come to chime
See London’s bear skinned soldiers
Marching in a line
And if there’s trouble
Then we’ll all stand up as one
Draw on that bulldog spirit
Of 1941
I’m inspired by the streets of London
Just as Hendrix was in times before
It’s where Mick and Keith began to cut their teeth
As the crowd grooved on the Crawdaddy floor
I’m in love with the streets of London
I was carved by it’s winter chill
I did the r’n’b scene
Saw Clapton Mayall and Green
I was amazed at just what I had seen
So London be good to me
And I’ll be good to you
I don’t think you ever wanna change
Your London point of view
So London be good to me
And I’ll be good to you
I don’t think you’re ever gonna change
Your London point of view
