Lyrics

Come out of the (oven bulleen?) Tryin' to make London my home Come out of the (oven bulleen?) I'm tryin' to make London my home 'Cos the people back in the United States, I declare, they just don' know what in the world is goin' on. So much difference 'tween this state and back home. Aoooh, SO much difference between OUR state and back home. But the peoples over here, aohh I declare, they treat you so warm, so cool, so kind. I put in for my citizenship papers, and I'm goin' back to London for sure. I put in my application, for my citizenship papers, an' I'm goin' back to London for sure. Because if the good Lord let me live, I'm not goin' back to the States no more. Oh I just hope when I get there, on the twenty-ninth, Oh I'm goin' to London, I'll be there on the twenty-ninth, And I hope my papers'll be served, why I can stay there the rest of my life. Come out of the (oven bulleen?) Goin' to make London my home Come out of the (oven bulleen?) And I'm goin' to make London my home, Because the people back in my country, they just don' know what in the world is goin' on. Lord, have mercy.
