Lyrics
If I'd wanna be anywhere where would I wanna be
If I wanna have city lights steeped in history
If I wanna be somewhere with someone who wants me
I'd wanna be London-bound, London's good for me
Take a walk through Regents Park down to Primrose Hill
Wander through that London Zoo if you've got time to kill
Well I came to town I looked around, boy was I impressed
London you're the business you're the best
I tapped my feet all the way down Carnaby Street
Diggin' the beat, looking real neat
I rode that London Eye so high in the sky
I heard Big Ben ringing out in Parliament Square
Theatre seats at Saddlers Wells, Angel you're divine
Don't miss Little Venice when you ride the Bakerloo line
Well I came to town I looked around, boy was I impressed
London you're the business you're the best
Baker Street has changed a bit since Sherlock was around
I climbed the Tower of London and I saw that jewelled crown
I came to see if you suited me and boy you passed the test
London you're the business the only one that is
Oh London you're the business you're the best
