Portobello Road Lyrics by The Michael Sammes Singers

0

Portobello Road, Portobello Road
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Artifacts to glorify a regal abode
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portobello road
You'll find what you want in the Portobello Road
Tokens and treasures, yesterday’s pleasures
Once proud possessions and heirlooms of old
Dented and tarnished, scarred and unvarnished
In old Portobello they're bought and they're sold
Portobello Road, Portobello Road
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Artifacts to glorify a regal abode
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portobello road
Can you find the treasures in the Portobello Road?
Rare alabasters, Dusty old Masters
Carpets from Punjab and canes from Bombay
Scrappings from coaches, Byzantine Brooches
A harpsichord Chopin was rumored to play
Glass ornate flagons, Ivory dragons
Mandolins mellowed by music of yore
Austrian crystals, Napoleon’s Pistols
Swords that came back from the Crimean War
Portobello Road, Portobello Road
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Artifacts to glorify a regal abode
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portobello road
Can you find the treasures in the Portobello Road
Birdwatchers Handbooks, Censored and banned books
Volumes on alchemy, voodoo, and zen
Bibles and Bride Books
Revelers' Guidebooks
A black magic course from a sorcerer's pen
Silver pillboxes, taxidermed foxes
The solid gold toothpick of Henry the Eighth
A quill used by Shelly, A bruised Botticelli
Religious equipment of every known faith
The cowls of ten naja, the rings of a Raja
A filigreed samovar owned by the czars
An ancient mosaic, a scroll in Hebraic
The snipper that clipped old King George's cigars
Portobello Road, Portobello Road
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Anything you're purchasing is more than it seems
You're buying the story of mystery and dreams
