Ray Singer, Simon Napier-Bell - Producer

"Busking - to play without written arrangement often done on street to make money from passers by."

Buskers in London often double daytime busking with nighttime gigs in bands and orchestras.

Some busk to work their way through music college - others have busked their whole lives.

They do everything from tap-dancing and blues in ten or twelve piece bands.

Centre of busking are Leicester Square, Piccadilly and Oxford Street, but in the summer many buskers go off to the south of France, Paris, Denmark, Sweden or the coastal resorts of Britain for a "summer season." Amongst famous artists who started out as buskers are - Peter Sarstedt, Don Partridge, Donovan, Chad & Jeremy.


7. If I Ruled The World


If I ruled the world,

Every day would be the first day of spring.

Every heart would have a new song to sing,

And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.


If I ruled the world,

Every man would be as free as a bird.

Every voice would be a voice to be heard,

Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred.


My world would be a beautiful place

Where we would weave such wonderful dreams.

My world would wear a smile on its face,

Like the man and the moon has, when the moon beams.


If I ruled the world,

Every man would see the world was his friend. Yeah

There'd be happiness that no man could end,

No my friend, not if I ruled the world.


Every hand would be held up high,

There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky.

If the day ever dawned,

Will I rule the world.


Every hand would be held up high,

Every star would shine in everyone's sky.

If the day ever dawned,

Will I rule the world.
