verse 1
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, rolling into the night,
(o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ooh o-o-ooh la-la-la o-o-ooh o-o-ooh)
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy, taxi lights shine so bright,
(o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ooh o-o-ooh la-la-la o-o-ooh o-o-ooh)
But I don't need no friends,
(o-o-ooh o-o-ooh o-o-ooh)
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in paradise, (sha-la...
chorus
... la) Every day I look at the world from my window, (sha-la...
... la) But chilly, chilly is the evening time,
Waterloo sunset's fine.
(Waterloo sunset's fine)
(a-a-a-a-a-a-ah a-a-a-a-ah aah-aah aaah)
verse 2
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station, every Friday night,
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander, I stay at home at night,
But I don't feel afraid,
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in paradise, (sha-la...
chorus
... la) Every day I look at the world from my window, (sha-la...
... la) But chilly, chilly is the evening time,
Waterloo sunset's fine.
(Waterloo sunset's fine)
(a-a-a-a-a-a-ah a-a-a-a-ah aah-aah aaah)
verse 3
Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground,
But Terry and Julie cross over the river where they feel safe and sound,
And they don't need no friends,
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset they are in paradise,
