London Town lyrics

Walking down the sidewalk

on a purple afternoon

I was accosted by a barker

playing a simple tune

Upon his flute - too too too too

Silver rain was falling down

Upon the dirty ground of London Town

People pass me by

on my imaginary street

Ordinary people it's impossible to meet

Holding conversations

that are always incomplete

Well, I don't know

Oh where are there places to go

Someone somewhere has to know

I don't know

Out of work again

the actor entertains his wife

With the same old stories

of his ordinary life

Maybe he exaggerates

the trouble and the strife

Well, I don't know

Oh, where are there places to go

Someone somewhere has to know

Crawling down the pavement

on a Sunday afternoon

I was arrested by a rozzer

wearing a pink balloon

About his foot - toot toot toot toot

Silver rain was falling down

Upon the dirty ground of London Town

Someone somewhere has to know

Silver rain was falling down

Upon the dirty ground of London Town
