Lyrics
London bye ta-ta Strange young town London bye ta-ta Brought me down Don't like your new face That's not nice Got to go far, far London bye ta-ta Gigi, Gigi Take me away Gigi, Gigi Take me today The boys in the clothes shop Sold me curry for a pound His cardboard face is soggy And he's selling thorny crown I loved her I loved her I've got to get away But I loved her London bye ta-ta Strange young town London bye ta-ta Brought me down Don't like your new face That's not nice Got to go far, far London bye ta-ta Red light, green light Make up your mind Red light, green light You're much too unkind She lovеs to love all beauty And she says thе norm is funny But she whimpers in the morning When she finds she has no money I loved her I loved her I've got to get away now But I loved her! Oh, London bye ta-ta Strange young town London bye ta-ta Brought me down Don't like your new face That's not nice Got to go far, far London bye ta-ta Oh, London bye ta-ta Strange young town London bye ta-ta Brought me down Don't like your new face That's not nice Got to go far, far London bye ta-ta Oh, London bye ta-ta Ooh, London bye ta-ta Yeah
