What A Day In London- Pocahontas

Lampkeeper
The sun comes up, the lamps go down
the day begins in London town
Father, There's tea to brew
Mother and buns to bake
Mother & Father And some who just refuse to wake
Shopkeeper 1 While shops are stocked and flocks are fed
Shopkeeper 2 The midnight men drift home to bed School Teacher School bells chime and church bells ring Kids Children whine
Peddler Peddlers sing
Chorus
What a day in London, come and see who's here
Everyone knows someone they come from far and near
they bring their geese their finest fleece
to please the keenest eye And hope and pray
someone will say there's something they might buy
Shopkeeper 3 With pigs to slop and fish to gut Shopkeeper 4 it ain't exactly heaven but
Begger
we thank the lord and kiss the ground
for bed and board in London town
Butler The upper crust lie fast asleep Maid But some of us has got floors to sweep
Butler & Maid One day's like the day before
Soldier 1 Can't complain
Soldier 2 If there's no war
All What a day in London everythings’ for sale cabbages and onions
Man [Gasp] Look up !
Woman Who's that that girl up in the tree
Old Man It's not a tree It's moving..see
Woman 2 Good Grief what can it be?
Man 2 Look there, I swear She's flying through the air
Woman 3 She must be wild
Woman 2 She's just a child
Woman 4 I wish I had her hair
Pocahontas
My heart is pounding like a drum
I can't believe my eyes In London people seem to
come in every shape and size
So many paths I wonder how they find their way
So many signs I wonder what they really say London is everything I've heard and more
London is nothing like I've seen before
Music and feathered hatsn and roofs that shine
with flags flyin higher than a pine
Man 4 She seems so sweet she means us well
Man 5 Size 20 feet
Woman 5 How can you tell
Undertaker We'll rue this day you wait and see
Shakespeare What is to be or not to be Pocahontas
How do they build their huts so tall
Can this be all one tribe?
The things they sell the things I smell
I never could describe These cakes taste just like berries picked this very day
The sound a river makes still takes my breath away
London's as busy as a hive of bees
Grandmother Willow would just love these trees
Crowded and loud but so exciting too, with colours
I never even knew
All What a day in London nothing strange at all
Kid except a girl with someone maybe ten feet tall
Chorus
This day's become a day no one is likely to forget
A day we'll all remember as the day two worlds have met
Man 1 Such beauty's rare I'm quite impressed Pocahontas
London is everything I've heard and more
Woman 1 One musn't stare she's barely dressed
Pocahontas
London is nothing like I've seen before
Man 1 The strength of ten that's what I heard
Woman 1 She's won the men just take my word
Woman 2 A brave young thing to venture here
Pocahontas
Music and feathered hats and roofs that shine
Fortune Teller It will be an adventure
Pocahontas
and flags flying higher
Puppet 1 Perhaps some brew to quench your thirst
Pocahontas
than a pine
Puppet 2 Not with you I saw her first
All What a day in London history was made
Take away the mystery then you're not afraid
We've seen a girl
Pocahontas
I've seen a world
Crowd We never dreamed we'd see
Pocahontas
I never dreamed I'd see
Pocahontas & Crowd
What an extra special day unique in truly every way
How wonderful this London day turned out to be
