Lyrics: What A Day In London

Lampkeeper
The sun comes up
the lamps go down
the day begins in
London town

Father
There's tea to brew

Mother
and buns to bake

Mother & Father
And some who just
refuse to wake

Shopkeeper 1
While shops are stocked
and flocks are fed

Shopkeeper 2
The midnight men drift
home to bed

School Teacher
School bells chime
and church bells ring

Kids
Children whine

Peddler
Peddlers sing

Chorus
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

Shopkeeper 3
With pigs to slop
and fish to gut

Shopkeeper 4
it ain't exactly heaven but

Begger
we thank the lord
and kiss the ground
for bed and board
in London town

Butler
The upper crust
lie fast asleep

Maid
But some of us has got
floors to sweep

Butler & Maid
One day's like the
day before

Soldier 1
Can't complain

Soldier 2
If there's no war

All
What a day in London
everythings’ for sale
cabbages and onions

Man
[Gasp] Lookup

Woman
Who's that
that girl up
in the tree

Old Man
It's not a tree
It's moving..see

Woman 2
Good Grief
what can it be?

Man 2
Look there, I swear
She's flying through
the air

Woman 3
She must be wild

Woman 2
She's just a child

Woman 4
I wish I had her hair

Pocahontas
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 flyin higher
than a pine

Man 4
She seems so sweet
she means us well

Man 5
Size 20 feet

Woman 5
How can you tell

Undertaker
We'll rue this day
you wait and see

Shakesphere
What is to be or
not to be

Pocahontas
How do they build
their huts so tall
Can this be all 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

All
What a day in London
nothing strange at all

Kid
'cept a girl with
someone maybe ten feet tall

Chorus
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

Man 1
Such beauty's rare
I'm quite impressed

Pocahontas
London is everything
I've heard and more

Woman 1
One musn't stare
she's barely dressed

Pocahontas
London is nothing
like I've seen before

Man 1
The strength of ten
that's what I heard

Woman 1
She's won the men
just take my word

Woman 2
A brave young thing
to venture here

Pocahontas
Music and feathered hats
and roofs that shine

Fortune Teller
It will be an adventure

Pocahontas
and flags flying higher

Puppet 1
Perhaps some brew
to quench your thirst

Pocahontas
than a pine

Puppet 2
Not with you
I saw her first

All
What a day in London
history was made
Take away the mystery
then you're not afraid
We've seen a girl

Pocahontas
I've seen a world

Crowd
We never dreamed we'd see

Pocahontas
I never dreamed I'd see

Pocahontas & Crowd
What an extra special day
unique in truly every way
How wonderful this London day
turned out to be
