And on your right we have the River Thames,
Ambles for miles round many bends.
That big place 'tis Buck Palace but we're not stopping,
The flags not flying cos the Queen's gone shopping.
Over there Houses of Parliament, seat of government,
Filled with idiots who have for years my money spent,
Right at the very top is a chiming bell called Big Ben,
If you get too close on the hour you'll never hear again.
That stern castle, so fierce indeed, is called the Tower,
A reminder to one and all of the Royal's mighty power,
Many of those who came out were well and truly dead,
Necks were placed upon the block, soon minus head.
Eros fires his arrow or so this London statue shows,
Not too confident he is aware of once fired where it goes,
He is supposed to represent the joy of Love so free,
Been a very long time since he fired his arrow at me.
St Paul's Cathedral, a masterpiece by the prolific Wren,
A wedding church and the resting place for famous men,
Brings to the end this very rapid red bus London tour,
And now I beg you all disembark or go around once more.
