| Original Source: | LyricWiki |
| Outside my window Not long before sleep arrives They come with their sirens And they sweep away all the boys Busy draining the joy from their lives They never said their prayers out loud And while I'm dreaming There's a passing motor car That broadcasts a popular song And a girl appears to be saying "Do you think that I'm going to go far?" FIRST CHORUS: Just look at me I'm having the time of my life Or something quite like it When I'm walking out and about In London's brilliant parade She's one of those girls that you just can't place You feel guilty desiring such an innocent face But of course they knew that when they cast her Along with the red Routemaster And the film takes place in an MGB And a perfect re-creation of "The Speakeasy" Everybody looks happy and twisted Though she probably never existed For old times' sake Don't let me awake I wouldn't want you to walk across Hungerford Bridge Especially at twilight Looking through the bolts and the girders Into the water below You'll never find your answer there They sounded the "all-clear" in the occidental bazaar They used to call Oxford Street Now the bankrupt souls in the city Are finally tasting defeat SECOND CHORUS: Don't look at me I'm having the time of my life Or something quite like it When I'm walking out and about In London's brilliant parade When I'm walking out and about In London's brilliant parade From the gates of St. Mary's, there were horses in Olympia And a trolley bus in Fulham Broadway The lions and the tigers in Regents Park Couldn't pay their way And now they're not the only ones At the Hammersmith Palais In Kensington and Camden Town There's a part that I used to play; The lovely Diorama is really part of the drama, I'd say FIRST CHORUS [2x] | |
