GOOD-BYE LONDON TOWN

Two friends of ours who never used to leave without a tear This good old town with all it's charm, for sadly twice a year On business to the country they would wend their weary way And as they'd leave the station you could hear them softly say, Chorus: 'Good-bye to you old London Town Farewell to you old friend My heart belongs to you old pal No matter where I land I'll be true to you old pal There's not the slightest doubt For when you leave old London Town You're only camping out' It always made them feel so sad when they would have to go The thought of what they'd miss while gone would always pain them so They'd miss their pals, miss their gals, and miss those parties gay I tell you I don't blame the lads when leaving they would say, Chorus: 'Good-bye to you old London Town Farewell to you old friend My hearts belong to you old pal No matter where I land I'll be true to you old pal There's not the slightest doubt For when you leave old London Town You're only camping out.'
