London Pride - Noel Coward and Orchestra/Arthur Young[00:00:00]
Written by:Noel Coward[00:00:01]
London pride has been handed down to us[00:00:08]
London pride is a flower that's free[00:00:11]
London pride means our own dear town to us[00:00:14]
And our pride it for ever will be[00:00:18]
Woa liza see the coster barrows[00:00:21]
Vegetable marrows and the fruit piled high[00:00:24]
Woa liza little london sparrows[00:00:27]
Covent garden market where the costers cry[00:00:30]
Cockney feet mark the beat of history[00:00:35]
Every street pins a memory down[00:00:38]
Nothing ever can quite replace[00:00:41]
The grace of london town[00:00:45]
There's a little city flower every spring unfailing[00:00:52]
Growing in the crevices by some london railing[00:00:56]
Though it has a latin name in town and countryside[00:01:01]
We in england the call it london pride[00:01:06]
London pride has been handed down to us[00:01:13]
London pride is a flower that's free[00:01:17]
London pride means our own dear town to us[00:01:19]
And our pride it for ever will be[00:01:23]
Hey lady when the day is dawning[00:01:26]
See the policeman yawning on his lonely beat[00:01:30]
Gay lady mayfair in the morning[00:01:34]
Hear your footsteps echo in the empty street[00:01:36]
Early rain and the pavement's glistening[00:01:41]
All park lane in a shimmering gown[00:01:44]
Nothing ever could break or harm[00:01:48]
The charm of london town[00:01:52]
In our city darkened now street and square and crescent[00:01:59]
We can feel our living past in our shadowed present[00:02:04]
Ghosts beside our starlit thames who lived and loved and[00:02:10]
Died[00:02:15]
Keep throughout the ages london pride[00:02:16]
London pride has been handed down to us[00:02:24]
London pride is a flower that's free[00:02:27]
London pride means our own dear town to us[00:02:31]
And our pride it for ever will be[00:02:34]
Grey city stubbornly implanted[00:02:38]
Taken so for granted for a thousand years[00:02:41]
Stay city smokily enchanted[00:02:45]
Cradle of our memories and hopes and fears[00:02:47]
Every blitz your resistance toughening[00:02:53]
From the ritz to the anchor and crown[00:02:57]
Nothing ever could override[00:03:01]
The pride of london town[00:03:06]
