Outside my window    Not long before sleep arrives    They come with their sirens    And they sweep away all the boys    Busy draining the joy from their lives    They never said their prayers out loud    And while I'm dreaming    There's a passing motor car    That broadcasts a popular song    And a girl appears to be saying    "Do you think that I'm going to go far?"       Just look at me    I'm having the time of my life    Or something quite like it    When I'm walking out and about    In London's brilliant parade       She's one of those girls that you just can't place    You feel guilty desiring such an innocent face    But of course they knew that when they cast her    Along with the red Routemaster    And the film takes place in an MGB    And a perfect re-creation of "The Speakeasy"    Everybody looks happy and twisted    Though she probably never existed    For old times' sake    Don't let me awake       I wouldn't want you to walk across Hungerford Bridge    Especially at twilight    Looking through the bolts and the girders    Into the water below    You'll never find your answer there       They sounded the "all-clear" in the occidental bazaar    They used to call Oxford Street    Now the bankrupt souls in the city    Are finally tasting defeat       Don't look at me    I'm having the time of my life    Or something quite like it    When I'm walking out and about    In London's brilliant parade    When I'm walking out and about    In London's brilliant parade       From the gates of St. Mary's, there were horses in Olympia    And a trolley bus in Fulham Broadway    The lions and the tigers in Regents Park    Couldn't pay their way    And now they're not the only ones       At the Hammersmith Palais    In Kensington and Camden Town    There's a part that I used to play;    The lovely Diorama is really part of the drama, I'd say       Just look at me    I'm having the time of my life    Or something quite like it    When I'm walking out and about    In London's brilliant parade   (x2)
