No Place Like London

I have sailed the world Beheld it's wonders From the Dardanelles 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 And it's morals aren't worth what a pig can spit And it goes by the name of London At the top of the hole sit a privileged few Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo Turning beauty to filth and greed I too have sailed the world and seen it's wonders For the cruelty of men is as wondrous as Peru But there's no place like London There was a barber and his wife And she was beautiful A foolish barber and his wife She was his reason and his life And she was beautiful And she was virtuous And he was Naive There was another man who 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 Oh, that was many years ago I doubt if anyone would know There's a hole in the world like a great black pit And it's filled with people who are filled with shit And the vermin of the world inhabit it
