The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm gonna have a bloody good time
Get drunk on English Stout
If I don't plan on doing something
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna go to London
Now can I go to London?
Now will I go to London?
So leave me mother England
Show me round your sleepy town
Where Holmes and Watson worked
And is this still Baskerville?
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna go to London
Now can I go to London?
Now will I go to London?
So leave me mother England
The girls all dress so sexy
The guys all lookin' trash
And everyone is proud to be
Of the working class
WORK! WORK! WORK! WORK!
If I don't love it - so .I'll leave it
I'll go to Liverpool
? -----? Brighton ???????
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, I wanna go to London
Now can I go to London?
Now will I go to London?
So leave me mother England
I wanna see the home of Hitchcock
It's right down right down by that (Pip)?
If I don't go I'll be undone
I said if I, if I, if I, if I, if I don't go to London
Then my life will be undone (?)
If I don't go to London
Then my life will be NO GOOD!
This is NO FUN! (This is NO GOOD!) ?
WORK! WORK! WORK! WORK!
Not to make a _____ ?
Not to go to Waikiki
Not to Egypt or Japan
