Hold tight Monday morning, wake up yawning Break an egg, bust my head, maybe it's a warning Ring on the bell Says it's half past eight Kees on the TV, hey, I'm gonna be late I'm walking on the pavement Skipping on the lines So the bears won't eat me Send me to the salt mines Get on the bus But the bus don't start My feet are sitting down My head on the top I can't see out the window 'cause there ain't no sun I think somebody's telling me to g-g-g-g-get out of London My feets keep moving and I don't wear any socks Can't stop singing, head ting-a-linging I left my house, now I hang out in a phone box Making coffins out of bits of old wood Sell 'em cheap to the council Though I know it's no good to be a traitor, collaborator Still I'd rather be a snitch than a cocktail waiter Commit my crime now Pay my penalty later Okay, all right, I know I'm doing wrong But save it till tomorrow I got to g-g-g-g-get out of London Last night, I lost my purity It started with a kiss I settled in to revel in a night of wedded bliss I had a bee in my bonnet, a tiger in my tank I was on my maiden voyage but my liner just sank They call me jack of hearts Some would say a knave My mother was the queen of tarts My baby was a sex slave Pa's selling weapons to the Red Army Faction I burn myself in public just to get a reaction Tattoo my face so my race is run My car is on fire I got to get out of London Oh, I don't wear a suit, I don't wear a smile Don't wear my spikes out on the golden mile Keep my hand on my nine, keep my eye on my mind Keep my heart on the beat when I'm running through the front lines Chain Gang chasin' me but I'm quick as a fox And I rock my body to the sound of the box The louder you scream, the faster we go It's an ack ack battery, a boom-boom-boom Helter Skelter flattery coming down soon Pay packet, jug thug, babies buying fun I'm down on my knees, I got to g-g-g-g-get out of London Run don't walk Keep as straight as a crow I'm waiting for my treasure at the Admiral Benbow Blues in my pockets, Reds in my bed The weights are building bodies and the blacks are pumping lead A face in a photo, the beauty is bare Tears on her cheek, she's living in a nightmare Turn the page to a brand new leaf Resolute swagger loot time to be a thief Go to task wear a mask four ponies a ton Keep out of Sing Sing, got to g-g-g-g-get out of London Everybody in the land turn into a sugartooth Beg like a puppy dog, brains like a hedgehog Gimme ten P, and I'll tell you the truth Sell you a wonder drug, elixir of youth Threw a party for my friends so they wouldn't be lonely They wouldn't let me in, said it's membership only Don't worry 'bout me 'cause I'm doin fine I'm standin' on my head and sittin on a gold mine Keep taking the nitro three times a day Keep out of the crossfire and g-g-g-g-get out of London
