London Pride - Noel Coward and Orchestra/Gertrude Lawrence[00:00:00]
Written by:Noel Coward[00:00:04]
London pride has been handed down to us[00:00:09]
London pride is a flower that's free[00:00:12]
London pride means our own dear town to us[00:00:15]
And our pride it for ever will be[00:00:19]
Woa Liza see the coster barrows[00:00:22]
Vegetable marrows and the fruit piled high[00:00:25]
Woa Liza little London sparrows[00:00:29]
Covent garden market where the costers cry[00:00:32]
Cockney feet mark the beat of history[00:00:36]
Every street pins a memory down[00:00:40]
Nothing ever can quite replace[00:00:43]
The grace of London town[00:00:47]
There's a little city flower every spring unfailing[00:00:54]
Growing in the crevices by some London railing[00:00:58]
Though it has a Latin name in town and country side[00:01:03]
We in England call it London pride[00:01:09]
London pride has been handed down to us[00:01:16]
London pride is a flower that's free[00:01:19]
London pride means our own dear town to us[00:01:23]
And our pride it for ever will be[00:01:26]
Hey lady when the day is dawning see the policeman yawning[00:01:30]
On his lonely beat[00:01:34]
Gay lady[00:01:37]
Mayfair in the morning[00:01:38]
Hear your footsteps echo in the empty street[00:01:40]
Early rain and the pavement's glistening[00:01:45]
All park lane in a shimmering gown[00:01:48]
Nothing ever could break or harm[00:01:52]
The charm of London town[00:01:56]
In our city darkened now street and square and crescent[00:02:03]
We can feel our living past in our shadowed present[00:02:09]
Ghosts beside our starlit Thames[00:02:15]
Who lived and loved and died[00:02:18]
Keep throughout the ages London pride[00:02:22]
London pride has been handed down to us[00:02:29]
London pride is a flower that's free[00:02:33]
London pride means our own dear town to us[00:02:36]
And our pride it for ever will be[00:02:40]
Grey city stubbornly implanted[00:02:43]
Taken so for granted for a thousand years[00:02:47]
Stay city[00:02:51]
Smokily enchanted[00:02:52]
Cradle of our memories our hopes and fears[00:02:54]
Every blitz your resistance[00:03:00]
Toughening from the Ritz[00:03:03]
To the anchor and crown[00:03:05]
Nothing ever could override the pride of London town[00:03:07]
