FREDDY:
When she mentioned how her aunt bit off the spoon,
She completely done me in.
And my heart went on a journey to the moon
When she told about her father and the gin.
But I never saw a more enchanting farce
Than the moment when she shouted,
"Move your bloomin' ..."

[dialog]

But the pavement always stayed beneath my __(2)__ before.
All at once am I several stories high.
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees in the __(3)__ of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of __(4)__ door?
No, it's just on the street where you live!

And, oh, the towering __(5)__
Just to know somehow you are __(6)__ ;
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly __(7)__ !

People stop and __(8)__ . They don't bother me,
For there's nowhere else on Earth that I would __(9)__ be.
Let the __(10)__ go by. I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.
