(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

4 bar riff

16 bar dance break

4 bar riff 

(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!
