Sing me a London Tune I

Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,
kicking up the paper with worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride, and held loosely at his side,
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news.


Refrain:
So how can you tell me you're lonely, and say, for you that the
sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of
London,
I'll show you something to make you change your mind.


Have you seen the old girl who walks to the streets of London,
dirt in her hair and her clothes just in rags?
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking,
Carrying her home in two carrier bags

Refrain

In the all-night cafe at a quarter past eleven,
same old man sitting there on his ownLooking at the world over
the rim of him tea-cup,
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone.

Refrain
Beatles, The Streets of London
