London Town Lyrics by Misbehavin’ Maidens

Busted

2015

[Chorus]
I used to work in London Town in a merchant store
I thought I did a pretty good job, but I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
I used to work in London Town in a merchant store
I thought I did a pretty good job, but I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
A lass came in for a drink one day
I asked her what kind she preferred
"Liquor," she said, so lick her I did
And now I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
[Chorus]
I used to work in London Town in a merchant store
I thought I did a pretty good job, but I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
A pirate came in for some treasure one day
I asked him what kind he preferred
"Booty," he said, so booty he got
And now I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
[Chorus]
I used to work in London Town in a merchant store
I thought I did a pretty good job, but I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
A man came in for some paint one day
I asked him what kind he preferred
"Blue," he said, so blew him I did
And now I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
[Chorus]
I used to work in London Town in a merchant store
I thought I did a pretty good job, but I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
A lass came in for some poultry one day
I asked her what kind she preferred
"A duck," she said...I misheard
And now I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
[Chorus]
I used to work in London Town in a merchant store
I thought I did a pretty good job, but I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
A lass came in for some whiskey one day
I asked her how much she preferred
"A finger," she said, my whole hand she got
And now I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
[Chorus]
I used to work in London Town in a merchant store
I thought I did a pretty good job, but I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
A man came in for some pie one day
I asked him what kind he preferred
"Cherry," he said, well, that was long gone
And now I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
[Chorus]
I used to work in London Town in a merchant store
I thought I did a pretty good job, but I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
A lass came in for some tools one day
I asked her what kind she preferred
"A hammer," she said, so nail her I did
And now I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
[Chorus]
I used to work in London Town in a merchant store
I thought I did a pretty good job, but I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
A man came in for a drink one day
I asked him what kind he preferred
"Lipton," he said, a teabag he got
And now I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
[Chorus]
I used to work in London Town in a merchant store
I thought I did a pretty good job, but I don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
A lass came in for some fish one day
We asked her what kind she preferred
"Grouper," she said, so group her we did
And now we don't work there anymore
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
[Chorus]
I used to work in London Town, in a merchant store
I thought I did a pretty good job, but I don't work there anymore
No, I don't work there anymore
No, I don't work there anymore
