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!
 One musn't stare
 She's barely dressed!
 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
 It will be an adventure
 Perhaps some brew to quench your thirst?
 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!
