Aldwych, Aldgate
Brixton, Bishopsgate
Clapton, Clapham and Camberwell (of course)
Dulwich to Denmark Hill, where it gets a little more coarse
Guns at the ‘Elephant’ ain’t the same as Eton rifles
T.A.’S, P.T.A’S funded by fetes and fairs selling home made trifles
Gimps, goons, gangsters, gentlemen and gays
Harridans, harlots, whores and ones that go both ways
Islanders, idealists, inbreds, inmates
Jokers, Jehovahs, jugglers, jailbaits
Kennington/Kensington the difference is clear
Londoners all, I hold all of them dear
Mates, muckers, marauding mobs
Neighbours, knockers, nutters and (k) nobs
Opportunists in Oxford Street making their marks
From Putney to Peckham, it’s plastered with parks
Quiet, quaint, quintessentially queer
Richmond’s a royal one, with surprisingly, deer!
Status symbols slip silently passed
Tottenham to Totteridge, that journey’s not fast
Uxbridge, the outskirts, all similar places
Vauxhall’s where you’ll see a vast array of faces
West Ham, Wimbledon, Watford, both places AND teams
Excessive, exciting it explodes at the seams
Youthful, young, incredible old, yet constantly new
Zealots, Zionists there’s even a zoo.
