(One, two, three, four ........)

Hello, playmates

Here's a little London song

All about a young man's adventures in the big city

Here we go

Billy Bentley, bought to London early in the day

Half a quid, mate

Stand to reason

Hold your horses

How's your father?

Well, cor blimey

Wotcha, cheeky

Move along there

See the show, sir

Nice time, ducky

You'll be lucky

Billy Bentley, he's a course and a flippin' state

Billy Bentley, take your father in the afternoon

Down the Grove

Up the Archway

Kilburn High Road

Dalston Junction

Clapham Common

Ealing Broadway

Cambridge Circus

Hyde Park Corner

Covent Garden

I beg your pardon

Billy Bentley, golden platter and a dirty spoon

Billy Bentley, day in London soon to disappear

Shocking headache

Well despondent

Starving hungry

Bleeding taters

What a karma

Double lonely

Fucking Ada

All me marbles

Charming weather

Bloody clever

Billy Bentley, all the winners don't you like it here?

Hold very tight, please (ding ding)
