(4/4 time. 16 bar intro.
Rich and Poor people enter to separate sides of stage
(Rich people)
In London Town our life is good
We have our homes and warmth and food
4 bars interlude
(Poor people)
In London Town our life is bad
We always feel forlorn and sad
(Rich people)
Lon-don is the place we like to live
Splen-did parties by the score
There is food and wine for ev'ryone
We have plenty and some more!
Lon-don surely is a marv'lous place
Full of oppulence and wealth
Ev'ry person here is just like us
All in wonderful good health! x2

(poor people)
Lon-don is the place where we must live
Dirt and squalor and disease
There is little food for anyone
"Spare a copper guv'nor please?"
Lon-don surely is an evil place
Full of poverty and grime
Ev'ry person here is just like us
Almost in a life of crime! x2
(4 bar break)
(Together)
Rich: All in wonderful good health!
Poor: Almost in a life of crime!
