Bedknobs and Broomsticks movie - Portebello Road lyrics
rate me<br>
Portebello road, Portebello road<br>
Street where the riches of ages are stowed.<br>
Anything and everything a chap can unload<br>
Is sold off the barrow in Portebello road.<br>
You’ll find what you want in the Portebello road.<br>
<br>
Rare alabaster? Genuine plaster!<br>
A filigreed samovar owned by the czars.<br>
A pen used by Shelley? A new Boticelli?<br>
The sniper that clipped old King Edward’s cigars?<br>
<br>
Waterford Crystals? Napoleon’s pistols?<br>
Society heirlooms with genuine gems!<br>
Rembrandts! El Greco’s! Toulouse-Letrec’os!<br>
Painted last week on the banks of the Thames!<br>
<br>
Portebello road, Portebello road!<br>
Street where the riches of ages are stowed<br>
Anything and everything a chap can unload<br>
Is sold off the barrow in Portebello road.<br>
You’ll meet all your chums in the Portebello road<br>
<br>
There’s pure inspiration in every creation.<br>
No cheap imitations, not here in me store.<br>
With garments as such as was owned by a Duchess.<br>
Just once at some royal occasion of yore.<br>
<br>
In Portebello Road, Portebello Road<br>
The fancies and fineries of ages are showed.<br>
A lady will always feel dressed a la mode<br>
In frillies she finds in the Portebello road.<br>
<br>
“Burke’s Peerage;” “The Bride Book;” “The Fishmonger’s Guidebook;”<br>
A Victorian novel, “The Unwanted Son;” <br>
“The History of Potting”, “The Yearbook of Yachting,” <br>
The leather bound “Life of Attila the Hun.”<br>
<br>
Portebello Road, Portebello Road<br>
Street where the riches of ages are stowed<br>
Artifacts to glorify our regal abode<br>
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portebello Road<br>
You’ll find what you want in the Portebello Road<br>
<br>
Tokens and treasures, yesterday’s pleasures<br>
Cheap imitations of heirlooms of old<br>
Dented and tarnished, scarred and unvarnished<br>
In old Portebello they’re bought and they’re sold<br>
<br>
Portebello Road, Portebello Road<br>
Street where the riches of ages are stowed<br>
Artifacts to glorify our regal abode<br>
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portebello road.<br>
You’ll find what you want in the Portebello Road<br>
<br>
<br>
