On the Street Where You Live

[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'—"

[MRS. PEARCE, spoken]
Yes sir?

[FREDDY, spoken]
Is Ms. Doolittle here?

[MRS. PEARCE, spoken]
Whom shall I say is calling?

[FREDDY, spoken]
Freddy Eynsford-Hill
If she doesn't remember who I am, tell her I'm the chap who was snickering at her

[MRS. PEARCE, spoken]
Yes sir

[FREDDY, spoken]
And will you give her these?

[MRS. PEARCE, spoken]
Yes sir, wouldn't you like to come in sir? They're having dinner but you may wait in the hall

[FREDDY, spoken]
No thank you I want to be in the street where she lives

(sung)
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 ev'ry 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
