    Let your hair down in London City, everybody just keep
    Moving with me

    Bud, sweat and beers!

    And tonight we're in London city.

    I'm on the A13 on the way to the city, where the lights
    Are bright with some boys that like to fight, I'm leaning.
    Out the window, smoking a spliffy.
    Through the wind in my eyes, like tears that I cry,
    Getting high on the essence of life.
    'Cause tonight we're in London city.
    And I got 'bout four hundred with me
    Fifteen minutes ago we left barking, now we're approaching
    The city, I'm a laughing.
    Wanna hit a restaurant first cause' I'm starving.
    Eat well for the start of emptying glasses.
    This is London city.
    The best city in the world when everybody's not shanking
    And blasting, young men moving to music and females
    Shaking their a**es.

    Let your hair down in London City,
    Everybody just keep moving with me,
    Just keep dancing with me, just keep rolling with me.
    Let your hair down in London City,
    Everybody just keep moving with me,
    Just keep dancing with me,
    Just keep rolling with me.

    Alright, I've finished my plate.
    Now I'm walking out the restaurant,
    lighting up the cigarette and then I pass half to my mate.
    Many clubs and bars await.
    We're gonna drink and dance till it's late.
    And my name is Bait,
    So a lotta young ladies wanna glance at my face.
    One a' got a glass in their hand and
    A wiggling their ass and their waist.
    It's the old t-show, sexy ladies who wind down low.
    And if ya get approached by a bloke, who smells of weed,
    Smoke, don't act like you don't wanna know.
    'Cause we got the city on smash.
    As the strobe lights flash, all I do is drink more champs
    And spend more cash, London City no match.

    Let your hair down in London City,
    Everybody just keep moving with me,
    Just keep dancing with me, just keep rolling with me.
    Let your hair down in London City,
    Everybody just keep moving with me,
    Just keep dancing with me,
    Just keep rolling with me.

    As the night comes to a closure I'm far from sober,
    But I carry on drinking like a soldier,
    Even when the night club's over.
    Straight up in the morning and I still look smart but I'm far from a poser.
    I'm sporting, Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, Lyle and Scott
    I'm nineteen with more grades than my Dad's got
    And your girl's still trying to watch.
    Well I guess my face just lights up the spots.
    And now I'm pissed up running in the road, staggering,
    Looking for a cab back to Bagenham to kick back and cotch,
    With this sexy blue eyed brunette girl that I got.
    With the light in the cab it was more than a lot.
    London City just pop.

    Let your hair down in London City,
    Everybody just keep moving with me,
    Just keep dancing with me, just keep rolling with me.
    Let your hair down in London City,
    Everybody just keep moving with me,
    Just keep dancing with me,
    Just keep rolling with me.

    London City just pop
