C F x2
C F C
Here's one more sermon I'll sing to the choir
C F C
This town would be better if it were on fire
C F C
From the Lancaster Gate down to the Ann Boleyn's grave
C F C
Use the tabloids for kindling set this town ablaze
C F C
And the cabbies would curse and the honkers would cry
C F C
And the rest would just grumble til their turn to die
C F C
And the fish and chips vendors would be fuel for the fire
C F C
And I'd watch the sun set on the British Empire
🎸 Chorus:
F
And the London I know is a half a stones throw
C
From the cruel world around me and the cold world below
F
And the London I know is no better than I
C G F
Great Britain, good riddance, goodbye
C G F
Great Britain, good riddance, goodbye
C F x2
C F C
And the bobbies would curse and the cabbies would crash
C F C
And the rest would just grumble til they turned to ash
C F C
And the fish and chips vendors would run for their lives
C F C
Tea time would come and the cups would run dry
🎸 Chorus:
F
And the London I know is a half a stones throw
C
From the cruel world around me and the cold world below
F
And the London I know is no better than I
C G F
Great Britain, good riddance, goodbye
C G F
Great Britain, good riddance, goodbye
C F x2
