  See that man going in the bank with a blue suit
  He's carrying a bag full of very important paper
  There's old Mac trying to busk with his new flute
  Did you read about the Cambridge raper?

  Street in the city
  Street in the city on a working day
  Street in the city
  Street in the city on a working day
  
  Those girls pass every day
  They seem to think to I'm funny
  It's just a game that they're playing
  Till they can claim their personal man
  Gonna lean back on my wall and pray for her knickers to fall
  
  See that woman with a bun in her hair
  Don't she know that's ain't still done anywhere?
  See that man going in the Wig and Pen
  He was charged with telling lies again
  
   G/D         G6/D             G               G6/D

  Street in the city
  Street in the city on a working day
  Street in the city

  There's a man up on that ledge
  He's only cleaning windows
  What a shame, who's to blame
  For the pain?
