lyrics

He had London in his eyes
And Paris in his smile,
Scraping at the barrel
Gnawing at the wall.

Peering through the window,
Cause he could not find the words,
Could not speak the language,
To get into their worlds.

A word of advice,
Empty your pockets in my gig tonight and it’ll change your life,
A word of advice,
Everything I say, I play, I do, is the best you’ll get, don’t forget.

You ain’t got the bat to hit this ball,
You got London in your eyes,
But you got no sense at all,
You ain’t got the grasp,
To halt your fall,
You got London in your eyes, but you’ve forgotten your home.

He dons his Jazz Dungarees,
Shaves his head bald,
His Ego flies high,
When he plays his tenor horn.

See when he plays in his bubble,
And floats around with his friends,
He feels indestructible,
And the party never ends.

A word of advice,
Empty your pockets in my gig tonight and it’ll change your life,
A word of advice,
Everything I say, I play, I do, is the best you’ll get, don’t forget.

You ain’t got the bat to hit this ball,
You got London in your eyes,
But you got no sense at all,
You ain’t got the grasp,
To halt your fall,
You got London in your eyes, but you’ve forgotten your home.
