London Weirdos

London is a freak show
Full of people who are weird
Be they wearing silly clothing
Or a long and straggly beard.

There are seven million people
In this bustling, busy place,
And there’s every variation
Of the crazy human race.

Some are silly, some are funny,
Some are just bizarre and strange,
Some are terminally boring,
So they cover the whole range.

I guess if you live in London
To be noticed is quite tough
So dressing like a weirdo
Might just be enough.

But a grey felt Nazi helmet
With fake cherries on the side
With a fussy frock and trainers
Just invites one to deride.

But looking very closely
At the weirdos hereabout,
They all have one thing in common
And I’d like to point it out.

The cherry-hatted Nazi,
The pink-haired, airhead pain,
The bearded, last chance hippie,
They’re all terminally PLAIN.
