02x12 - TEN SONGS from the Adventures of Portland Bill

Post by bunniefuu »

[Music]

oh come with me to the rolling sea where

the wind and the breakers roar

to a lighthouse out beyond the lee on a

lonely

rocky shore

where portland bill and russ and

chromati

are trimming the light and working

busily

on the watch to see what they might see

over the rolling waves

we'll have no fear cause our friends are

near where the weather's coming still

and we'll have some fun and laughter

with the adventures of portland bill

[Music]

[Music]

come on everybody clap to the music

gonna have a party it's all

[Music]

when we're not on duty we can do as we

please so we clap the center forward and

chair the referee but there's just one

man that we really want to see

it's the goalie for hamilton academicals

greek and city stem house mule wraith

rovers cotton beef party thistle

montrose said miranda dundee who keeps

his team at the top of the league

the goalie for hamilton academicals

[Music]

when the whistle blows for the second

half

we clap we shout we wave our scars we'll

be most surprised if they get one past

the goalie for hamilton academicals

the goalie the goalie the goalie for

hamilton academicals

[Music]

loading up the keeper

[Music]

they've been together whatever the

weather through storms are from what may

loaded with provisions to carry across

the bay

eddie checks his compass to navigate the

way he holds casts the line

the engine is running on eddie's coming

across the foamy brine

[Music]

they've been together whatever the

weather through storms will come what

may evolve

cast a line

the engine is running and eddie is

coming across the foamy brine

we're polishing cleaning everything we

can till all the brass is gleaming and

the rooms are spit and spun

scrub dust polishing rub with cleaning

cloth and water tub splish splush

mopping the floor with puddles and

bubbles all over the floor

[Music]

let's

the floor with puddles and bubbles all

over the floor

we've polished and we've cleaned up

everything we can now all the brass is

gleaming and the rooms are spitting spam

the room

[Music]

here's a chest here's an old seat chest

to put things in when the place is a

mess in the chest in the old seat chest

let's see what we can find

there's a telescope and a piece of rope

a picture of a girl with a hair down low

an old toy train a dolphin spain a thing

of a jig and a sew and sole in the chest

in the old seat chest let's see what we

can find

there's a little wooden box half a pair

of socks a fancy shirt with a red bow

tie a frying pan a watering can a

picture of a girl with a sparkle in her

eye in the chest in the old sea chest

let's see what we can find

[Music]

with the tools in this bag and a very

early rack i can do all sorts of mending

i can weld on the cap put a washer on

the tap or dismantle a big engine

with a

here and a

there was a bolt or a nail or a screw

with a

be as good as new

with some solder and a wrench and a vise

upon the bench i can get a motor honey

put a pedal on the bike i can grease it

if you like i can keep the lighthouse

running

with a

hair and a

there with a bolt or a nail or a screw

with a and a and a

it'll be as good as new

[Music]

for the wind is blowing today

it's blowing the cobwebs away

the clothes on the line are beginning to

dance all the wind is blowing today

guess it's true

where do you see

cause the met office forecast agreed

that the wind is blowing today

horse fire and it's blowing again

it'll lift off your hats blow it into

the sea

[Music]

degrees

[Music]

when the wind blows enough the salty sea

comes dancing to a sea shanty it feels

so right and it feels so free to be a

lighthouse keeper

yo h* h* see the big ships go across the

rolling sea

sunshine or wind or rain or fog write it

down in a daily log with a cup of tea

it's warm and snug to be your life

housekeepers yo h* h* see the big ships

go across the rolling street

and way up here where the lamp burns

bright on top of the world by day or

night with a telescope it feels just

right to be a lighthouse keeper

[Music]

up the stairs up the stairs up the

stairs we go

up past the bedroom

from the rooms below

up past the service room the left foot

and the right

when we get up to the top

it's time to light the light

downstairs down the stairs to the rooms

below

down past the service room and bedroom

we will go

down to the living room the room i like

the best cause after climbing all the

stairs
