He had a room in the best part of town

He got a chocolate on his eiderdown

Staring out over roofs at the Cross

Suppose he must have felt somewhat at loss



This is it, oh

This is it

This is it, oh baby

This is it



You couldn't say he was feeling very vibed

What had the quack in London prescribed

You couldn't really say he seemed to care

Sometimes he acted like he wasn't anywhere



This is it, oh baby

This is it

This it it, oh

This is it



(????????) start to crash

Even though you've got a fistful of cash

Watching the future it bursts on through

I was one of those who used to be with (envy ?) you



I knew a wise man didn't know a thing

I knew a happy man who made me feel sad

You never know what the other guy is thinking

Too bad



Sometimes you come upon a fork in the road

What was waiting there he never could have known

Split-second difference, one tiny percent

Yeah, he came and he went



This is it, oh baby

This is it

This is it, oh

This is it
