Piccadilly Circus in the fifties at night
Blazing in bright lights
Billboards catching the eye
Pan Am, Coca Cola, Bovril flickering high
Of an evening there standing
' I ave 'orse loudly calling
Prince Monolulu's robes flashy feathers
High Wellington boots of leather
A popular racing tipster
Crowds flocking to hear better
Endeared because of his London accent
People wanting to make a punt
The Eros statue fountain round
Double deckers and London taxis go around
Restaurants all kinds around
Verasinghams in Regent street can be found
A popular hotdog stand
Genuine American brand
For US airmen a favourite
To the stand I often made it
Close by the Windmill Theatre
Similar to the Paris Follie Brige
A sleazy part on a side road
People come to stand and stare
By the Circus commerce and fun meet
Elegant shops on Regent Street
The P&O office not far away
High ceiling fans a colonial outlay
Quite an experience for someone new
People of all races looking at the view
The Circus has seen everything
If it could speak would leave out nothing
Not far from the Circus art galleries
The worlds best paintings they carry
Many an afternoon there I spent
For the inspiration they send
In this way my London days lightened
My focus and concentration heightened
Is Eros then the heart of London
With its good vibes one can live with abandon
