London Pride - Noel Coward and Orchestra[00:00:00]
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 forever will be[00:00:19]
Woa Liza see the caster barrows[00:00:22]
Vegetable marrows and the fruit piled high[00:00:25]
Woa Liza little London sparrows[00:00:28]
Covent garden market where the casters cry[00:00:31]
Cockney feet mark the beat of history[00:00:36]
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 country side[00:01:02]
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[00:01:21]
And our pride it forever will be[00:01:24]
Hey lady when the day is dawning[00:01:27]
See the policeman yawning[00:01:31]
On his lonely beat[00:01:32]
Gay lady may fair in the morning[00:01:34]
Hear your footsteps echo in the empty street[00:01:37]
Early rain and the pavement's glistening[00:01:42]
All park lane in a shimmering gown[00:01:45]
Nothing ever could break or harm[00:01:49]
The charm of London town[00:01:53]
In our city darkened now street[00:02:00]
And square and crescent[00:02:03]
We can feel our living past in our shadowed present[00:02:05]
Ghosts beside our starlit Thames[00:02:11]
Who lived and loved and died[00:02:14]
Keep throughout the ages London pride[00:02:17]
London pride has been handed down to us[00:02:25]
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 forever will be[00:02:35]
Grey city stubbornly implanted[00:02:38]
Taken so for granted for a thousand years[00:02:42]
Stay city smoky enchanted[00:02:45]
Cradle of our memories and hopes and fears[00:02:48]
Every blitz your resistance[00:02:54]
Toughening from the Ritz[00:02:56]
To the anchor and crown[00:02:59]
Nothing ever could override the pride of London town[00:03:01]
