I look out from my window
at the cotton fields below,
and wonder what it's like 
in England. 
One thing's for sure -- 
I'll get in there in the end,
once I've saved enough 
to pay my friend's kind friend -- 

a man most eager to help
(he's said he'll find me a job
and a luxury flat
with other girls like me).
And I'll have a salary -- 
more than in my dreams -- 
to buy jewellery
and fur and clothes.

There's more to life than this -- the world must be explored --
and London is the perfect place for me to be adored.
Yes there's more to life than this -- the world must be explored -- 
And London is the perfect place for me to be adored.

London town is where I'll go and 
London town is where I'll grow -- 
I'll learn to act and to sing
and make my father proud.
When I'm home once I've grown,
they'll all stare and want to go -- 
to be like me,
the pretty pride [bad word] 

There's more to life than this -- the world must be explored --
and London is the perfect place for me to be adored.
Yes there's more to life than this -- the world must be explored -- 
And London is the perfect place for me to be adored.
