London Girls


















Some people sing about Deutsche girls
And girls from California...
They might be alright
For a night alright
But don't trust them I warn ya
I've been to the east
And I've been out west
And I've been the world around
But I ain't seen no one anywhere near
A girl from London town

Give me a London girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
Give me a London girl every time
I want a London girl
Marry a girl from London town
You know that you can trust her
She'll darn your socks
And wash your--
Even then your trousers won't bust 'em, yes
And they're all good cooks
And they've got good looks
And they won't lead you down
Said I gotta find a London girl
If I ever get to have a chance

Oh give me a London girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
Give me a London girl every time
I want a London girl
London girls are the best in the world
There ain't no doubt about it
If you can't find a girl from London town
You're better off doin' without it
They don't grate
When you come home late
And you're crawlin' up the passage floor
They won't mock about you
When you're going out
With the geezer from the house next door

Oh give me a London girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
I said honey give me a London girl babe
Every little day
Your legs turn to jelly
And I got a little smelly
But I know it's just what I want
'Cause I need a London girl
Oh, every time
They've always got a pound
To buy their round
When it's their turn at the bar

That song is originally by Chas and Dave, who are top cockernee knees up merchants. Essential listening for London.
