I arranged the lines to emphasize the rhyme. Dave Bryant's third verse above seems to be shorter than the 2 verses below. Is something wrong?I LIVE IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE
Words and music by C. W. Murphy
London: Francis, Day & Hunter, Ltd., 1902.1. Today I've been busy removing and I'm all in a frigidy-fidge.
My last digs were on the Embankment, the third seat from Waterloo Bridge.
But the cooking - and O! the attendants - didn't happen to suit me so well.
So I ordered my man to pick up and a'look out for another hotel.
He did, and the new place is extra, I vow,
Where I'm staying now.CHO: I live in Trafalgar Square with four lions to guard me.
Fountains and statues all over the place,
And the metropolis staring me right in the face.
I'll own it's a trifle drafty, but I look at it this way, you see:
If it's good enough for Nelson, it's quite good enough for me.2. The beds ain't so soft as they might be. Still, the temperature's never too high.
And it's nice to see the swells who are passing look on you with envious eyes.
And then when you wake in the morning, just fancy how nice it must be
To have a good walk for your breakfast and the same for your dinner and tea.
There's many a swell up in Barclay tonight
Who'd be glad if he only had my appetite. CHO.
