Underneath The Arches 1932 Bud Flanagan

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 05 May 2002

The Ritz I never sigh for,
The Carlton they can keep,
There's only one place that I know,
and that is where I sleep.
Underneath The Arches,
I dream my dreams away,
Underneath The Arches,
on cobblestones I lay,
Ev'ry night you'll find me,
tired out and worn,
happy when the daylight comes creeping,
heralding the dawn.
Sleeping when it's raining,
and sleeping when it's fine,
I hear the trains rattling by above,
pavement is my pillow,
no matter where I stray,
underneath The Arches,
I dream my dreams away.
Underneath The Arches,
I dream my dreams away,
Underneath The Arches,
on cobblestones I lay,
Ev'ry night you'll find me,
tired out and worn,
happy when the daylight comes creeping,
heralding the dawn.
Sleeping when it's raining,
and sleeping when it's fine,
I hear the trains rattling by above,
pavement is my pillow,
no matter where I stray,
underneath The Arches,
I dream my dreams away.
I don't envy others,
the comforts of a home,
for there's one place where I can rest,
when I've no wish to roam.
Underneath The Arches,
I dream my dreams away,
Underneath The Arches,
on cobblestones I lay,
Ev'ry night you'll find me,
tired out and worn,
happy when the daylight comes creeping,
heralding the dawn.
Sleeping when it's raining,
and sleeping when it's fine,
I hear the trains rattling by above,
pavement is my pillow,
no matter where I stray,
underneath The Arches,
I dream my dreams away.
Underneath The Arches,
I dream my dreams away,
Underneath The Arches,
on cobblestones I lay,
Ev'ry night you'll find me,
tired out and worn,
happy when the daylight comes creeping,
heralding the dawn.
Sleeping when it's raining,
and sleeping when it's fine,
I hear the trains rattling by above,
pavement is my pillow,
no matter where I stray,
underneath The Arches,
I dream my dreams away.
