London calling
Hello Amsterdam how are you doing?
well just fine and what about you
I heard you made a phone call to me
was there any need?
Mwah, nothing special no
just a bit curious though
about what's going on with you
in your capital town
Well like others you do know
that it can be a wicked city
full off sex and drug abuse
you wonder where the end is
Yes I do know what you mean
cause London can be quite the same
it does not matter where you live
people are people and do misbehave
