Does Anyone Know the Lyrics to the Beginning Song?


Just out of curiosity, because I can barely hear anything in it and it sounds at least awfully funny. ;) sorry, couldn't resist it...

And by the by, I actually got a friend to see the movie merely because it starts with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry in tutus and fishnets! hehehehe

Here they are according to the script as posted at www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/p/peters-friends-script-transcript-branagh.html. Enjoy!!

"Let's all go down to Oxford Circus,
past Trafalgar Square...
And then from Charing Cross
right up to Euston.

Then change to the Victoria,
then the Piccadilly
takes us round to Gloucester Road,
Kensington
and Notting Hill Gate,
Holland Park, and Shepherds Bush.

- Ladbroke Grove, Westbourne Park.
- Royal Oak and Paddington.

Edgware Road and Baker Street.
Great Portland Street
and Euston Square.
Barbican and Aldgate East
and change for Tower Hill.

Fulham Broadway,
heading down for Wimbledon.
Wimbledon Park.
Now we've crossed the Thames.

Back to Earl's Court
right up to Victoria.
Change for Green Park.
Home in time for tea.

To check the map to find
the route to start again.
So, after tea
we're off again.

We go through Swiss Cottage
heading northward on the Jubilee.

We change to the Metropolitan
at Finchley Road,
which takes us round
to change at Rayner's Lane.

- Sudbury Hill and Sudbury Town.
- Alperton and Acton Town.

- Chiswick Park and Turnham Green.
- Stamford Brook and Ravenscourt Park.

- Hammersmith and Barons Court.
- West Kensington and Bayswater.

And again, Paddington...
Then change for Maida Vale.
Willesden Junction.
Didn't notice Kensal Green.
Watford High Street.
Christ, we've gone too far.

Stop at Watford.
Back again to Baker Street.
King's Cross, Moorgate,
Northern line to Bank.

And the escalator link
to Monument.
We jump the Circle
and we're going round and round
and round and round.

All change!"

Does anyone else feel like they're listening to a musical version of the game 'Mornington Crescent'?

Go take a step outside - see what’s shaking in the real world.

BTW: According to the end credits, the lyrics to this song were penned by none other than Hugh Laurie! He also wrote both the music and lyrics to the notorious coffee jingle. LOL

considering what he wrote for "Bit of Fry and Laurie", it doesn't surprise me.
