Well, it's a long long way to London   It's a long way to London town   When you've got no way of goin'   But pickin' em up and puttin' em down.      There's a got cold, cold rain a fallin'   I hope to God that I don't drown   But I've got a sweet baby waitin'   And it's a long way to London town.      One day I packed up my belongings   Said I could make myself a name   I knew that somewhere away out yonder   There was awaitin' me fortune and fame.      But now my rainbow's end has vanished   My pot of gold's gone up in smoke   And I'm just tryin' to get back to baby   And Lord, I hope my baby love me broke.      --- Instrumental ---      I nearly froze to deathly   Russia burned up in Thumbatoo   I got drunk down in Australia   Ad nearly made me a king of rue.      But now my big dreams all have failed   M big plan's gone with the wind   And if I ever get back to London town   I'm never gonna leave again.      It's a long long way to London   I's a long way to London town   When you've got no way of goin'   Bt pickin' em up and puttin' em down...
