I LIVE IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Today I've been busy removing And I'm all of a fidgety-fidge My last digs were on the Embankment The third seat from Waterloo Bridge But the cooking and, oh! The attendance Didn't happen to suit me so well So I ordered my man to pack up, and Look out for another hotel He did, and the new place is 'extra', I vow Just wait till I tell you where I'm staying now Chorus: I live in Trafalgar Square With four lions to guard me Fountains and statues all over the place And the 'Metropole' staring me right in the face I'll own it's a trifle draughty But I look at it this way you see If it's good enough for Nelson It's quite good enough for me The beds ain't so soft as they might be Still the temperature's never too high And it's nice to see swells who are passing Look on you with envious eye And when you wake in the morning To have a good walk for your breakfast And the same for your dinner and tea There's many a swell up in Park Lane tonight Who'd be glad if he only had my appetite Chorus: When I think of those unlucky bounders The Morgans and Clarence de Clares Who are forced to put up at the 'Cecil' My tenderest sympathy's theirs And to show I'm not selfish or greedy I just tell each aristocrat That I don't mind exchanging apartments Now, I can't say fairer than that But the softheaded sillies won't hear what I say They still go on suffering, while I'm all O.K.
