Beheld its wonders
From the Dardenelles
To the mountains of Peru
But there's no place like London
No, there's no place like London
You are young
Life has been kind to you
You will learn
There's a hole in the world
Like a great black pit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it
Its morals arent worth what a pig could spit
And it goes by the name of London
At the top of the hole
Sit a privilaged few
Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo
Turning beauty into filth and greed
I too have sailed the world
And seen its wonders
For the cruelty of men
Is as wondrus as Peru
But there's no place like London
"Is everything all right Mr. Todd?"
"I beg your indulgence, Anthony
My mind is far from easy.
In these once familiar streets I feel shadows averywhere."
"Shadows?"
"Ghosts."
"I beg your indulgence, Anthony

There was a barber and his wife
And she was beautiful
A follish barber and his wife
She was his reason and his life
And she was beautiiful
And she was virtuous
And he was...
Naive
There was another man that saw
That she was beautiful
A pious vulture of the law
Who, with a gesture of his claw
Removed the barber from his plate
Then there was nothing but to wait
And she would fall
So soft
So young
So lost
And oh so beautiful
"And the lady, did she succumb sir?"
Oh that was many years ago
I doubt if anyone would know
"I'd like to thank you, Anthony
If you hadnt spotted me I'd be
Lost on the ocean still"
"Will I see you again?"
"You might find me if you like
Around Fleet Street I wouldnt wonder."
"Untill then my friend."

Theres a hole in the world like a great black pit
And its filled with people who are filled with s**t
And the vermin of the world that inhabit it....
