What a Day in London

The sun comes up The lamps go down The day begins in London town There's tea to brew And buns to bake And some who just refuse to wake While shops are stocked and flocks are fed The midnight men drift home to bed School bells chime And church bells ring Children whine Peddlers sing What a day in London Come and see who's here Everyone knows someone They come from far and near They bring their geese Their finest fleece to please The keenest eye And hope and pray someone will say There's something they might buy With pigs to slop And fish to gut It ain't exactly heaven but We thank the Lord And kiss the ground For bed and board in London town The upper crust lie fast asleep But some of us got floors to sweep One day's like the day before Can't complain If there's no war What a day in London Everything's for sale Cabbages and onions Look up Who's that, that girl up in the tree It's not a tree It's moving, see Good grief, what can it be Look there, I swear She's flying through the air She must be wild She's just a child I wish I had her hair My heart is pounding like a drum I can't believe my eyes In London people seem to come in every shape and size So many paths I wonder how they find their way So many signs I wonder what they really say London is everything I've heard and more London is nothing like I've seen before Music and feathered hats And roofs that shine With flags flying higher than a pine She seems so sweet She means us well Size 20 feet How can you tell We'll rue this day, you wait and see What is to be or not to be How do they build their huts so tall Can this all be one tribe The things they sell The things I smell I never could describe These cakes taste just like berries picked this very day The sound a river makes still takes my breath away London's as busy as a hive of bees Grandmother Willow would just love these trees Crowded and loud but so exciting, too With colors I never even knew What a day in London, nothing strange at all 'Cept a girl with someone maybe 10 feet tall This day's become a day No one is likely to forget A day we'll all remember As the day two worlds have met Such beauty's rare I'm quite impressed (London is everything I've heard and more) One mustn't stare She's barely dressed (London is nothing like I've seen before) The strength of ten that's what I've heard She's won the men just take my word A brave young thing to venture here (Music and feathered hats and roofs that shine) It will be an adventure (And flags flying higher) Perhaps some brew to quench your thirst (Than a pine) Not with you, I saw her first What a day in London History was made Take away the mystery Then you're not afraid We've seen a girl (I've seen a world) We never dreamed we'd see (I never dreamed I'd see) What an extra special day Unique in truly every way How wonderful this London day turned out to be
