And now we re all here, we ve moved to New York
We ve found a nice little rental near a sweet little school
Now I m looking at houses with four or five floors
And you ve found us a brownstone
Said ?You want it? It s yours?

So we went ahead and we bought it
Found ourselves a good mortgage
Billy Cotton got sorted
All the furniture ordered
I could never afford this
You were pushing it forward
Made me feel a bit awkward
Made me feel a bit awkward

I walk up the stoop, I put the key in th? door
And then my phone started ringing so I answ?red the call
And they were like
Hey, you ve got a lead in a play
You ve gotta be back in London for rehearsals in May
And then later that evening
you said how was my day
I said ?I got some good news
I got the lead in a play?
That s when your demeanour started to change
You said that I d have to audition
I said ?You re deranged?

And I thought
I thought that that was quite strange (I found that strange)
And I thought
I thought that that was quite strange (So very strange)

But I ignored it
Went ahead and I bought it
Got a flight and I boarded
I m on my way

Now I m in London, I m on my own
And I m in a hotel room, I m on my own
Now I m in London and I m all alone
I m in a hotel room, I m all on my own
Now I m a West End Girl
Now I m a West End Girl
Now I m a West End Girl
A West End Girl
