Have you seen the old man
In the closed-down market
Kicking up the papers
With his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
Hand held loosely by his side
Yesterday's papers telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair
And her clothes in rags?
She has no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags

[2x:]
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind
