Oh, London is a fine town,
A very famous city,
Where all the streets are paved with gold,
And all the maidens pretty.

But pleasures are like poppies spread,You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed, Or like the snow falls in the river,A moment white - then melts for ever.

Oh, London is a fine town,
A very famous city,
Where all the streets are paved with gold,
And all the maidens pretty.

But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed,
Or like the snow falls in the river,
A moment white - then melts for ever.
