[JACK]
When the early morning hours have come and gone
Through the misty morning showers
I greet the dawn
For when its light has hit the ground
There's lots of treasures to be found
Underneath the lovely London sky

Though the lamps I’m turning down
Please don't feel blue
For in this part of London town
The light shines through
Don't believe the things you’ve read
You never know what's up ahead
Underneath the lovely London sky

Have a pot of tea
Mend your broken cup
There's a different point of view
Awaiting you
If you would just look up
I know

Yesterday you had to borrow from your chums
Seems the promise of tomorrow never comes
But since you dreamed the night away
Tomorrow's here
It's called today
So count your blessings
You're a lucky guy
For you're underneath the lovely London sky

Listen
Soon this slump will disappear
It won't be long
Sooner than you think you’ll hear
Some bright new song
So hold on tight to those you love
And maybe soon from up above
You’ll be blessed so keep on looking high
While you're underneath the lovely London sky
Lovely London sky
