Jonathans Coffeehouse by Talis Kimberley Lyrics

Gold's down by two points in London
Dow Jones is down by just one
Sterling's held steady since Tuesday
Third quarter's barely begun
I'll meet you at Jonathan's coffeehouse
Trading commences at nine
We're ten trading hours behind Tokyo
And all times are London time

At the end of the seventeenth century
Just two years short of its close
We were thrown out the Royal for rowdiness;
We went for coffee at Jo's
We all met at Jonathan's coffeehouse
Trading commences at nine
First on the left down 'Change Alley;
All times are London time

Nineteen-fourteen saw the War raise
A thousand of our volunteers
Four hundred never returned
From the Stock Exchange Royal Fusiliers
We traded through most of the Second World War
Even when we were bombed
We just carried on in the basement
Our motto – 'My Word is My Bond'
Gold's up by three points in London
The Dow Jones is down by just two
The Euro's been rising all quarter
And the smart traders know what to do;
I'll meet you at Jonathan's coffeehouse
Trading commences at nine
We're five hours before Philadelphia
And all times are London time

Meanwhile at Jonathan's coffeehouse
Trading commences at nine
Commodities just keep on rising
All times are London time

Meanwhile at Jonathan's Coffeehouse, oh!

All times are London Time...
