EmBlue stocking blue makes Emtea in her flat

CWonders whether the day is Cright to wear a hat

She Amcalls a friend, Amstretches her calf

TooD lovely to be, too Dbeautiful by half

She Cfalls on the bed and Carches her back

DCloses her eyes and Ddreams of Gblack G

And you Emknow you can't have her

You Emknow it's not you

Only the Emladies of the night

EmKnow what to do

Only the Emkids with their ball can Dhave

Bloomsbury Gblue

EmSee picture painters Embasking by the tree

The Ccolours they use Cred blue and three

The Ampublican laughs as Amthree men bet

The Dhorses aren't running so they Dstay in debt

CNewsprint for a bed, a Cdosser falls

And Dsomewhere close a Dtennis player Gcalls G

Then the Dhorses run and the Cold girls dance

GTime for the fair and the Ggames of chance

DBooze is falling like Crain from the sky

And Gflowers lighten beGfore they die

DKids paint their faces and Cmamas laugh

While Gbloomsbury blue Gties on her scarf

DShe's on the square, Cshe's by the park

GShe's in the light, Gshe's in the dark

And you Emknow you can't have her

You Emknow it's not you

Only the Emladies of the night

GKnow who is who

Only the Emsleeping drunks

EmKnow what to do

Only the Emkids with their ball can Dhave

EmMost of it's over she Emlies by the fire

COnly she knows you Ccan't get much higher

Than Amblue stocking blue a girl of Amhigh renown

Who Dseeks and finds withDout a sound

Who Duses the day as Dif it's the night

Who Dpasses you by Dnever a sight

Who Cmakes you shiver withCout knowing why

Like Dbloomsbury blue is Dpart of the Gsky
