Song by Bedknobs And Broomsticks<br /><br>

Portobello road, Portobello 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 Portobello road.<br>

You’ll find what you want in the Portobello 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 snipper 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>

Portobello road, Portobello 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 Portobello road.<br>

You’ll meet all your chums in the Portobello 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 Portobello Road, Portobello 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 Portobello 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>

Portobello Road, Portobello Road<br>

Street where the riches of ages are stowed<br>

Artifacts to glorify our regal abode<br>

Are hidden in the flotsam in Portobello Road<br>

You’ll find what you want in the Portobello 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 Portobello they’re bought and they’re sold<br>

<br>

Portobello Road, Portobello Road<br>

Street where the riches of ages are stowed<br>

Artifacts to glorify our regal abode<br>

Are hidden in the flotsam in Portobello road.<br>

You’ll find what you want in the Portobello Road<br>

<br>
