On the Street Where You Live lyrics

[FREDDY]

When she mentioned how her aunt bit off the spoon

She completely done me in

And my heart went on a journey to the moon

When she told about her father and the gin

And I never saw a more enchanting farce

Than that moment when she shouted

"Move your bloomin'—"

I have often walked

Down this street before;

But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before

All at once am I

Several stories high

Knowing I'm on the street where you live

Are there lilac trees

In the heart of town?

Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?

Does enchantment pour

Out of every door?

No, it's just on the street where you live!

And oh!

The towering feeling

Just to know somehow you are near

The overpowering feeling

That any second you may suddenly appear!

People stop and stare

They don't bother me

For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be

Let the time go by,

I won't care if I

Can be here

On the street where you live
