Shaftesbury Avenue |
| I think you’re waiting for someone |
| And I think he’s not going to show |
| And there’s this little place round the corner |
| Wanna go? |
| Uptown |
| Charcoal and braziers |
| Where the traffic is crazier |
| Where the people are racier |
| And the stage door is unlit |
| Uptown |
| I’m going up there just as I am |
| Going to dance down the roofs of the traffic jam |
| Cos I’ve got something that’s itching me |
| And here’s where I’m going to scratch it |
| Appearing in the West End: |
| Tottenham Hotspurs with Rolex handshakes |
| And crocodile sunlans |
| JAPs and prunes, cops and robbers |
| Touts with faces like the Phantom of the Opera |
| Chinatown pimps and handshake whores |
| And Tackhead caps at the Astoria doors |
| Foetus in the dish, falcon down the pan |
| Feasts in the dustbin |
| Gerrard Street girl watch as I go |
| My hungry blue eyes below your window |
| If I could just speak Cantonese |
| You could be my best friend |
| (Appearing in the West End) |
| There’s some greal entertainment lined up for me on BBC 1 |
| But meet me on Shahesbury Avenue |
| Operating for fun (looking for a good time) |
| Sophisticated sister, so much better at life than me |
| Meet me on Shaftesbury Avenue |
| Dance with me |
| Talk to me |
| Make love with me |
| Make me somebody |
| Uptown |
| Walking all night all alone |
| Through the entertainment zone |
| Searching for sweet oblivion |
| Till the bitter end |
| Nothing comes to him who waits |
| No free lunches, no dinner dates |
| Got to take your chance at a back door dance |
| With a very special friend |
| Appearing in the West End: |
| Streatham princesses in sherbert stilettoes |
| And matt black toy boys who act like heroes |
| Businessman sleaze, whips made of liquorice |
| No sex please: we’re British |
| Council house tarts in cocktail bars |
| Looking for a boyfriend |
| XR 3 sunroofs open on the night |
| Bragging Kiss FM rapper’s delight |
| Gerrard Street girl watch as I go |
| My hungry blue eyes below your window |
| If I could just speak Vietnamese |
| You could be my best friend |
| Appearing in the West End |
| There’s some great entertainment lined up for me on BBC 1 |
| But meet me on Shahesbury Avenue |
| Operating for fun (looking for a good time) |
| Sophisticated sister, so much better at life than me |
| Meet me on Shaftesbury Avenue |
| Dance with me |
| Talk to me |
| Make love with me |
| Make me somebody |
