Take  a look at the great  street, it  don't seem the same.
Remember  how great  it should be, just  think what it was.
Streets  are full  of fashion, people  told what they want
The  street that was  a part of the British  monarchy
British  monarchy.
Who  wants cafgans  and all that?  We don't need them now.
Why  should we accept  the change and buy the clothes  of today?
Kids  (kids) repel  the change and bring  back the street,
Shops  filled by all  nations, Carnaby Street
Carnaby Street  (Carnaby Street)
The  street is a mirror of  the country,
Reflects  the rise and fall of  our nation.
The  street that was  a legend, is  a mockery,
A  part of the British  tradition, gone  down the drain,
You  don't need no glass  ball, to  see it's faults,
Take  a walk in London's  streets and you'll see  what I mean
Carnaby Street
Carnaby Street
Carnaby Street  (Not what it used to be) (x2)
Carnaby Street  (Not what is used to be) (oh) (x2)
Carnaby Street,  oooh (x2)
