Turn Up The Lights In Piccadilly 1939 JPitt-Payne

You know that there's no place on earth
like dear old London Town,
But tumults and revolutions
turn the whole place upside down,
What with blackouts and with sandbags
and with all the blinking rest,
Still we must all remember
that it's all done for the best.

Turn up the lights in Piccadilly
and let us see the dear old Strand,
You can keep it dark
round the benches in the park,
and hear the loving couples saying:
"Ain't love grand?"
We will never get downhearted
for sunshine follows rain
so turn up the lights in Piccadilly,
let's see the lights of London once again.

Turn up the lights in Piccadilly
and let us see the dear old Strand,
You can keep it dark
round the benches in the park,
and hear the loving couples saying:
"Ain't love grand?"
We will never get downhearted
for sunshine follows rain
so turn up the lights in Piccadilly,
let's see the lights of London once again.

One night my pal and I
we met two sweeties in the park,
we had a kiss and cuddle
oh my goodness it was dark.
A warden switched his lantern on
and when I saw me gal,
I found I'd got me sister
so I says: "Swop over pal."

Turn up the lights in Piccadilly
and let us see the dear old Strand,
You can keep it dark
round the benches in the park,
and hear the loving couples saying:
"Ain't love grand?"
We will never get downhearted
for sunshine follows rain
so turn up the lights in Piccadilly,
let's see the lights of London once again.

Turn up the lights in Piccadilly
and let us see the dear old Strand,
You can keep it dark
round the benches in the park,
and hear the loving couples saying:
"Ain't love grand?"
We will never get downhearted
for sunshine follows rain
so turn up the lights in Piccadilly,
let's see the lights of London once again.
