Ancient buildings clothed in age
The foggy realms of Dicken's page
School at four through knowledge door

It all makes up the funky London childhood
It all makes up the funky London childhood today

Moving through the streams of life
Cutting deep with your London knife
City boys, now men from school

It all makes up the funky London childhood
It all makes up the funky London childhood today

In and out of work is bad
Not enough of learning makes you sad
The gilded cage we call '75
Some is fabulous, some is jive

But it all makes up the funky London childhood
But it all makes up the funky London childhood today

It all makes up the funky London childhood
It all makes up the funky London childhood today
