Trafalgar Square - Richard Thompson

Today I’ve been busy removing

I’m all of a fidgety-fidge

My last digs were on The Embankment

The third seat from Waterloo Bridge

But the cooking and oh the attendance

Didn’t happen to suit me so well

So I ordered my man to pack up and

Look out for another hotel

He did and the new place is extra I vow

Just wait till I tell you where I’m staying now

I live in Trafalgar Square

Four lions to guard me

Fountains and statues all over the place

The Metropole staring me right in the face

I’ll admit it’s a trifle draughty

But I look at it this way, you see

If it’s good enough for Nelson

It’s quite good enough for me

Now the beds ain’t so soft as they might be

Still the temperature’s never too high

And it’s nice to see swells who are passing

Look on you with envious eye

And when you wake up in the morning

What nicer thing could there be

Than to have a good walk for your breakfast

And the same for your dinner and tea?

Oh there’s many a swell up in Park Lane tonight

Who’d be glad if he only had my appetite

I live in Trafalgar Square

Four lions to guard me

Fountains and statues all over the place

The Metropole staring me right in the face

I’ll admit it’s a trifle draughty

But I look at it this way, you see

If it’s good enough for Nelson

Oh it’s quite good enough for me

If it’s good enough for Nelson

Oh it’s quite good enough for me
