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 the moment when she shouted
"Move your bloomin'—"

[MRS. PEARCE, spoken]
Yes, sir?

[FREDDY, spoken]
Is Miss Doolittle at home?

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

[FREDDY, spoken]
Freddy Eynsford-Hill
If she doesn't remember me, 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

[FREDDY, spoken]
You needn't rush
I want to drink in the street where she lives

[MRS. PEARCE, spoken]
Yes Sir

[FREDDY]
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

[MRS. PEARCE, spoken]
Mr. Eynsford-Hill?

[FREDDY, spoken]
Yes?

[MRS. PEARCE, spoken]
I'm terribly sorry, sir
Mrs. Doolittle says she doesn't want to see anyone ever again

[FREDDY, spoken]
But why? She was unbelievable!

[MRS. PEARCE, spoken]
So I've been told, sir
Is there any further message?

[FREDDY, spoken]
Yes, tell her I'll wait

[MRS. PEARCE, spoken]
But it might be days, sir, even weeks!

[FREDDY, spoken]
But don't you see I'll be happy here?

[FREDDY]
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
