Little boy, little boy, little boy
Catch the curve and the swerve on the walk from the Crescent
With yer eyes on her legs, tripping over your feet
Getcha self sorted, boy, climbing Mount Pleasant
It's a long dive down, a long dive down to Eversholt Street
"It's a long dive down"
Yeah, it's a long dive down
You daren't steal a glance - at the Camden girls
You don't stand a chance - with the Camden girls
You look cheap and easy when they're rich and tough
You'll never be Battersea boy enough.
She got soul on a roll, kickin' her Docs, boy
Look at her smoking on the lip of the Canal
You only ever see I-dare-ya hair like that at the Lock
And the kohl and the brims, the rollups and Slims and the slo-mo stack-heel stroll
"Didja see that stroll?"
Oh, yeah - I have seen that stroll
You daren't steal a glance - at the Camden girls
You don't stand a chance - with the Camden girls
You look cheap and easy when they're rich and tough
You'll never be Battersea boy enough
I'm a swamp thing with an earring
I'm a groundling on the make
You're gonna see me on your TV
Don't care how long it takes
