London Pride

London Pride - Julie Andrews

London Pride has been handed down to us

London Pride is a flower that's free

London Pride means our own dear town to us

And our pride it for ever will be

Woa Liza see the coster barrows

Vegetable marrows and the fruit piled high

Woa Liza little London sparrows

Covent Garden Market where the costers cry

Cockney feet mark the beat of history

Every street pins a memory down

Nothing ever can quite replace

The grace of London Town

There's a little city flower every spring unfailing

Growing in the crevices by some London railing

Though it has a Latin name

In town and countryside

We in England call it London Pride

London Pride has been handed down to us

London Pride is a flower that's free

London Pride means our own dear town to us

And our pride it for ever will be

Hey lady when the day is dawning

See the policeman yawning on his lonely beat

Gay lady Mayfair in the morning

Hear your footsteps echo in the empty street

Early rain and the pavement's glistening

All Park Lane in a shimmering gown

Nothing ever could break or harm

The charm of London Town
