ENSEMBLE:
'Ere in London East End,
It's the pit of the Earth –
Where you won't find a friend –
Where yer life 'as no worth –
Death is waiting –
Fate is makin' yer card.

You got one chance in five –
They're the odds you must beat
If you wanna survive –
So be fast on yer feet!
Life's 'ard 'ere –
It's the devil's backyard!
