I reside in Prince Of Wales Drive
|
In a mansion block named "Primrose"
|
With constant hot water it's got all it oughta
|
Behind Victorian windows
|
|
But nonetheless, I must confess
|
I'm looking for something grander ?
|
If you could see it, you'd agree
|
It's better to be an Overstrander
|
|
If one rich hag should like my gags
|
And drunkenly drag me to bed in Overstrand?
|
"Stand still while I take your picture!"
|
I would give her the negatives
|
If she could deliver the keys of Overstrand
|
(And then I would evict her)
|
|
Oh! To be one of the bourgeoisie
|
Living in luxury south of the river
|
|
I'll flirt and philander
|
I'll take huge back-handers
|
I just want to be an Overstrander
|
|
If that won't work, I'll lift my shirt
|
For a certain dirty old man in Overstrand
|
And I'll see that he is happy!
|
When he's dead, his will?
|
Instead of bequeathing it to his in-breds as planned?
|
Will hand Overstrand to me!
|
And see that I am happy!
|
|
I'll ponce, I'll pander, I'll gerrymander ?
|
I just want to be an Overstrander!
|
|
Beware, Miss Clark!
|
A walk in the park
|
In winter the darkness can fall so fast
|
You may lose your way, and slip into the river
|
No-one will guess that beneath this false chest
|
There's a gentleman dressed up as you?
|
I'll fool them all!
|
The men will call, and I'll make them quiver!
|
|
I'll lie, I'll slander, I'll write for The Evening Standard
|
I just want to be an Overstrander!
|
|
...please?
|
