Song Lyrics

We like to sit in the winebars
And browse the new boutiques
Our concepts get old-fashioned
So we buy new ones next week
We visit our folks and friends in Hampstead and in Chelsea
We don't go by the London transport
We hire fleets of taxis

Richmond (oh oh oh)
We're all very smart
In Richmond (oh oh oh)
We are objects of arts

A walk along the Thames
A ride in my speed boat
Oysters in a trendy restaurant
I'll flash a twenty pound note
They drool on our car, got me my brand new Lamborghini
With a tasty model next to me
Sipping iced Martinis

Richmond (oh oh oh)
We're all cool and ever nice
In Richmond (oh oh oh)
We lead average pleasant lives, oh no

Ey!

So if you think you're groovy enough
And provide us with some proof
There's a few things that you'll have to do first
If you wanna join our troupe
You'll have to have a daily bath, that holiday in Malta
You've gotta have an ultra wide laugh
And dress like John Travolta

In Richmond (oh oh oh)
We all got the right credentials
In Richmond (oh oh oh)
Where the cigarettes are menthol

In Richmond (oh oh oh)
Where the breakfast's continental
In Richmond (oh oh oh)
We're well-balanced, we're not mental oh oh oh
