MISTER BROWN OF LONDON TOWN

(Reginald Arkell, Noel Gay)


As recorded by:
Carroll Gibbons & The Savoy Hotel Orpheans
V. Leslie Douglas
Recorded 28th August 1941



Mister Brown of London Town was happy as could be
Everything was apple pie so far as he could see
He’d got his wife, he’d got his kids and things were right as rain
Until the God forsaken Hun got busy once again

Then Mister Brown of London Town had a job to do
Meant to see it through, and he did it, too
Mister Brown of London Town sent the wife away
Sent the kids to play miles and miles away
Things blew up and things blew down, seemed a blinking shame
Blooming fire and flame, blimey, what a game
But who stood up and saved the town
When London Bridge was falling down
Mister Brown of London Town
Oh yeah,, Mister Brown
