London streets are paved with gold.
That Is what I have been told.
Can you help me on my way?
For I’d like to be there today.

I wanna be In London, (lovely London)
I wanna be right there.
I wanna be In London. (London)
No other place can compare.

To ride upon the Thames the sound of bow bells ringing.
To stroll along the mall, the smell of blossoms clinging.
The chiming of big ben, or just the children singing,
Songs that tell us of, London town we love!

I wanna be In London, (lovely London)
I’m coming home to stay.
And once I get to London, (London)
No one will drag me away.

London streets may not be paved with gold,
But I shall not complain.
I’d love that city even If the streets were only paved with rain.
(how I love ya!)

I wanna live In London, (lovely London)
So much to give In London. (lovely London)
I’ve been away forgive me London town.

I wanna be In London, (lovely London)
I wanna be right there.
I wanna be In London. (London)
No other place can compare.

I’ve been as far as turkey and the mausoleum.
I’d heard of Cleo’s relics so I went to see ‘em.
But walking up the steps towards the Louvre Museum,
London called to me,
‘come back home and see!’

I wanna be In London. (lovely London)
We’ve been too long apart.
The smiles I get from London. (London)
I know come straight from the heart.

When I was just a kid dressed up In bibs and braces,
I dreamed to see the world and far off foreign faces.
But now I’ve seen the world I know the only place Is,
London town for me,
Sincerely.

I wanna be In London. (lovely London)
I wanna be right there.
I ‘ll get on down to London. (London)
As soon as I get the fare.

London streets may not be paved with gold,
But I shall not complain.
I’d love that city even If the streets were only paved with rain!
(how I love ya!)

I wanna be In London. (lovely London)
The smiles are free In London. (lovely London)
You’ve gone and hypnotised my being.
The day will soon arrive when I’ll be seeing,
The town that really cheers me whenever I’m blue.
You lift me up,
And cheer me up,
And see I get through.
I don’t need gold or diamonds,
I only need you!
London town (London town)
London town. (London town)
How I love you London!
How I love you London!
How I love you,
London town!

Reprise (finale)

You’ve gone and hypnotised my being.
The day will soon arrive when I’ll be seeing,
The town that really cheers me whenever I’m blue.
You lift me up,
And cheer me up,
And see I get through.
I don’t need gold or diamonds,
I only need you!
London town. (London town)
London town. (London town)
How I love you London!
How I love you London!

Who say’s dreams don’t come true!

How we love you,
London town!
