They told him that London was the golden goose.

She tried to dance, she tried to sing.
Em                     F#m
Too many doors slammed in your face,

It leaves a nasty aftertaste.

Depends on his kickback from the middle man,
       G                        A
And whatever he can beat out of Sally Ann.
