Chorus:

Come on, everybody, everybody, sing it

Come on, everybody, everybody, sing it

(Lord, Lord) though my shoes are thin [Lord]

(Lord, Lord) and my coat is a hand-me-down

(Lord, Lord) but the song is mine, so's this old guitar



If you've been down the end of town, you'll have seen my face before

Though I ain't had a meal in days (I'm not complainin')

'Cos as soon as I start to play, you'll know it's just for you

'Cos I love it here in Leicester Square

Waiting, waiting for the people to come



chorus



I spend my night by the riverside, unless somebody takes me in

If they do or they don't, it's all the same to me (that ain't the reason)

Why I live the life I do, living and singing for free

'Cos I love it here in Leicester Square

Waiting, waiting for the people to come



Come on, everybody, everybody, sing it...

(repeats out)
