London Pride - Noel Coward and Orchestra/John Singer[00:00:00]
Written by:Noel Coward[00:00:02]
London pride has been handed down to us[00:00:08]
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[00:00:18]
Woa Liza see the coster barrows[00:00:22]
The vegetable the marrows and the fruit piled high[00:00:24]
Woa Liza little London sparrows[00:00:28]
Covent garden market where the costers cry[00:00:31]
Cockney feet mark the beat of history[00:00:35]
Every street pins a memory down[00:00:39]
Nothing ever can quite replace[00:00:42]
The grace of London town[00:00:46]
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 the country side[00:01:01]
We in England call it London pride[00:01:07]
London pride has been handed down to us[00:01:14]
London pride is a flower that's free[00:01:17]
London pride means our own dear town to us[00:01:20]
And our pride it for ever will be[00:01:23]
Hey lady when the day is dawning see the policeman yawning[00:01:27]
On his lonely beat[00:01:31]
Gay lady mayfair in the morning[00:01:34]
Hear your footsteps echo in the empty street[00:01:37]
Early rain and the pavement's glistening[00:01:41]
All park lane in a shimmering gown[00:01:45]
Nothing ever could break or harm[00:01:48]
Of 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[00:02:10]
Who lived and loved and died[00:02:13]
Keep throughout the ages London pride[00:02:17]
London pride has been handed down to us[00:02:24]
London pride is a flower that's free[00:02:28]
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 our hopes and fears[00:02:48]
Every blitz your resistance toughening[00:02:54]
From the ritz to the anchor and crown[00:02:57]
Nothing ever could override the pride of London town[00:03:01]
