Lyrics
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
