London Pride - Noel Coward and Orchestra[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[00:00:15]

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[00:00:28]

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[00:00:51]

Growing in the crevices by some London railing[00:00:56]

Though it has a Latin name in town and country side[00:01:00]

We in England 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[00:01:16]

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 see the policeman yawning[00:01:26]

On his lonely beat[00:01:30]

Gay lady Mayfair in the morning[00:01:33]

Hear your footsteps echo in the empty street[00:01:36]

Early rain and the pavement's glistening[00:01:40]

All park lane in a shimmering gown[00:01:43]

Nothing ever could break or harm[00:01:47]

The charm of London town[00:01:51]

In our city darkened now street and square and crescent[00:01:58]

We can feel our living past in our shadowed present[00:02:03]

Ghosts beside our starlit Thames[00:02:09]

Who lived and loved and died[00:02:12]

Keep throughout the ages London pride[00:02:15]

London pride has been handed down to us[00:02:23]

London pride is a flower that's free[00:02:26]

London pride means our own dear town to us[00:02:29]

And our pride it for ever will be[00:02:33]

Grey city stubbornly implanted[00:02:36]

Taken so for granted for a thousand years[00:02:39]

Stay city smokily enchanted[00:02:43]

Cradle of our memories and hopes and fears[00:02:46]

Every blitz your resistance[00:02:52]

Toughening from the ritz[00:02:54]

To the anchor and crown[00:02:57]

Nothing ever could override the pride of London town[00:02:59]
