Belsize Blues |
The roof started leaking and the stairs were squeaking |
There was water running down the walls |
So we took down the carpet, scrubbed down the parquet |
And the drains overflowed in the hall |
In the pub across the street it was two feet deep |
And the chairs were floating away |
In the Chinese store all the food was on the floor |
And they were wondering who was going to pay |
But it’s alright now, she said |
I’m a little bit tired, a little bit wet |
But it’s alright now, she said |
Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues |
Conrad’s bistro, the nights a go-go |
With people talking over the flood |
And Jenny from the newsdesk is looking at her shoes |
Just to see is she’s avoided the mud |
And Annie comes slowly with a pile of ravioli |
Fried chicken and a soup of the day |
Moving 'round the table, she’s a little Betty Grable |
In the way she’s got her hair today |
But I’m alright now, she said |
I’m a little bit tired, a little bit wet |
But I’m alright now, she said |
Though I believe I got the Belsize Blues |
Philadelphia seems like a part of my dreams |
And I cannot believe that I held the sleeve of her coat |
But now the night is clear as a chandelier |
And the trees are turning the water into a moat |
We finally got cleared and the neighbours disappeared |
We were sitting down for a rest |
When the TV blew and the lights all fused |
And the wine spilled all over her dress |
So I lit up a candle, poured up a brandy |
I was trying to get into a groove |
And I was kissing her on the chin when the roof fell in |
And I decided I was going to move |
But I’m alright now, she said |
I’m a little bit tired, a little bit wet |
But I’m alright now, she said |
Though I believe I got the Belsize Blues |
That’s as far as it goes now |
Well, I don’t suppose |
