Well believe me   I am speaking broadmindedly

I am glad   to know my Mother Country
            C#dim                   F#7
I have been travelling to countries years ago

To live in London you’re really comfortable
            A       F#m        Bm   E       | A     A/F# A/E |
Because the English people are very much sociable
     C#dim                  F#7
They take you here and they take you there

At night  when you have nothing to do
        A      F#m       Bm          E | A     A/F# A/E |
You can take a walk down Shaftesbury Avenue
               C#dim                F#7
There you will laugh and talk and enjoy the breeze
      D6                 E
And admire the beautiful scenery
   A     F#m  Bm          E       | A     A/F# A/E |

Yes, I cannot complain of the time I have spent
          A       F#m       Bm     E    | A     A/F# A/E |
I mean my life in London is really magnificent
       C#dim              F#7
I have every comfort and every sport
       D6              E
And my residence is at Hampton Court
   A     F#m  Bm          E       | A     A/F# A/E |
So London      that’s the place for me
