EmNice old girls Emsoak up the sun

CWondering who won the Crace they run

AmSad old boys suck on Amlager tins

DStaggering past on Dtottering pins

 [c]Little kids play on the Cfountain by the square

 And the Dflower girl sells Dbunches by the Gpair

EmBlue stocking blue a girl of Emhigh-legged renown

CStrides past and through lacking Conly a gown

 Her Ammind is high her Amheels on the ground

 PoetDess of the ordinary Dher thoughts profound

 Her Ceyes are bright her Cnose looks down

 The Dbooks she reads are Dher only Gsound G

 And you Emknow you can't have her

 You Emknow it's not you

 Only the Emgirls in the square

GKnow who is who

 Only the Emdrunks by the fountain

EmKnow what to do

 Only the Emkids on the benches can Dhave

 Bloomsbury Gblue

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

GKnow who is who

 Only the Emsleeping drunks

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

 Bloomsbury Gblue

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
