Lyrics
|
Ruby don't worry
We're going for curry
Gonna hurry over to Bricklane
For vindaloo and cheap champagne
Where London's going up in flames
We crawl to the west end
To meet the next friend
At a battle called the Duke of Kent
My china he's behind with the rent
He tells a story I couldn't invent
We sink a ship full sail
And drink until our troubles are missed
Chorus
Floating down the Thames
Past Big Ben
Beneath a Waterloo sky
There's Tower Bridge around the bend
That's where canaries cry
I read the mail with a cup of tea
There's a picture of me
With a portrait of the queen
_________
Skirts and bacon
Her body was shakin'
Magic wand, carpet and rugs
The room was filled with spiders and bugs
So refined on their designer drugs
He fancied a trannie
No nook and cranny
But the granny wanted bangers & mash
She reminded him of Johnny Cash
He ran away while she was taking a slash
We sink a ship full sail
And drink until our troubles are missed
(Chorus)
Bridge
The noise of the crowd on an English day
Singing along at the football game
Betting on inside tips
Win a mouthful of fists and chips
(Chorus)
