[Verse 1]
[C]Dear dirty London in the pouring rain
I wish to God I was back
on the sea [F]again
Though [C]that belongs to the
world of never will be
There was never a wilder
bastard than me on the [F]sea
I could [C]fuck all [F]the whores
in dam[C]nation me boys
Though they wriggled and [F]hollered
and [C]made a great noise
Then I'd drink till I [F]stank
and then [C]drink plenty more
And I won't go down to the sea any [F]more
[C]But if I had ten [F]pounds then I'd
[C]raise a loud cheer
And I'd toast all me [F]neighbours
both [C]distant [G]an d dear
And I'd [C]shoot back great [F]belly-crippling
buckets [C]buckets of beer
And a pox and a curse on the
people round here
Wouldn't give you me the price
of a half pint of [F]beer
Wouldn't [C]give you me the
price of a cup of good [F]cheer
A [C]pox and a [F]curse on [C]the people round [G]here
[F][G]

[Verse 2]
A [C]man's ambition must
indeed be small
To write his name upon a [F]shithouse wall
But be[C]fore I die I'll add
my regal scrawl
To show the world I'm left
with sweet fuck [F]all
And when [C]all of us [F]bold
[C]shithouse poets do die
A monument [F]grand they will
[C]raise to the sky
A monument [F]made just to [C]mark our great wit
A monument of solid shit now [F]me boys
[C]I met with Bill [F]James we [C]fought over crusts
I [F]called him a whore and he
[C]booted me crotch
Then we shared out the [F]jack
and we [C]thought it a treat
The compliments pass when
the quality [F]meet
The com[C]pliments pass
when the quality [F]meet
The [C]compliments pass
when the quality [F]meet
The [C]compliments [F]pass when the [C]quality meet
