Swinging London After Dark (Merseybeat)

Verse. Got on a plane at JFK. Headed east to the UK I feel like I was born to be here. I love the girls, the pubs and the beer. Pre Chorus This is the place to be. There’s no need to convince me. Let’s wave around that Union Jack. And twist and shout to Cilla Black. Chorus Swinging London after dark. Piccadilly Circus and Regency Park. Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. This is the place to go. If you want to lead and not follow. Verse These London streets are so full of life. I see mods and rockers from the view above. I see beatniks and flower children. I see a cultural mecca of peace and love. Pre Chorus I’m as British as they come. I love my English tea and fish and chips. I love the Yardbirds and my Mini Cooper. I must say I think London is super. Chorus Swinging London after dark. Piccadilly Circus and Regency Park. Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. This is the place to go. If you want to lead and not follow. Bridge Sidewalk artists near the river Tims. Horse Guards Parade and Saint Martins. Tower of London and Trafalgar Square. I feel the creative electricity everywhere. Verse Psychedelic prints, neon colors, and mismatched patterns are in style. Bell-bottom jeans, tie-dye, and paisley prints make me smile. Pre Chorus I love the British female look. Mini-skirt, long straight hair and wide-eyed loveliness get me shook. Chorus Swinging London after dark. Piccadilly Circus and Regency Park. Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. This is the place to go. If you want to lead and not follow.
