Chorus:
There's your lords and ladies fine,
Riding in a coach and six;
Nothing to drink but claret wine,
Talking politics.

London is a dainty place
A great and gallant city!
Alle the streets are pav'd with gold,
And all the folks are witty.

There's your beaux with powder'd clothes,
Bedaub'd from head to chin;
Their pocket-holes adorned with gold
But not one sous within.

Chorus

There your English actor goes
With many a hungry belly;
While heaps of gold are forc'd, God wot,
On Signor Farinelli.

Chorus

London is a dainty place
A great and gallant city
Alle the streets are pav'd with gold,
And all the folks are witty.

There's your dames with dainty frames,
Skins as white as milk;
Dressed each day in garments gay,
Of satin and of silk.

London is a dainty place.
