Lyrics

We Are London

Na na na na naaaa na na

Na na na na naaaa na na

From Regent's Park mosque on to Baker Street

Down to the Cross where all the pipesmoke neat

To Somerstown where somethings never stop

The Roundhouse, The Marathon Bar and Camden Lock

You can make it your own hell or heaven

Live as you please

Can we make it, if we all live together

As one big family

Down to Chinatown for duck and rice

Along Old Compton St, the boys are nice

On Carnaby you still can get the threads

If you wanna be a mod, a punk, a ted or a suedehead

You can make it your own hell or heaven

Live as you please

Can we make it, if we all live together

As one big family

Na na na na naaaa na na

We are London

Na na na na naaaa na na

London's talking

Na na na na naaaa na na

We are London

Na na na na naaaa na na

London walking

In all the nightclubs, strip joints and the bars

From it's poorest paid to it's highest stars

The poets, plumbers, painters, spreads and sparks

From it's inner-city to it's furthest parts

You can make it your own hell or heaven

Live as you please

Can we make it, if we all live together

As one big family

Na na na na naaaa na na

We are London

Na na na na naaaa na na

London talking

Na na na na naaaa na na

We are London

Na na na na naaaa na na

London walking

Na na na na naaaa na na

Na na na na naaaa na na
