Chaplin House

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, three, four [Verse 1] It happens that I know A little place where I can go Where Sally Hawkins used to run the show But that was long before your time Or hers or mine [Verse 2] Sally had a cameo And she's wearing it again Sally always had a way with men But that was long before your time Or hers or mine [Chorus] You've never heard of Chaplin House But there'll always be Chaplin House [Post-Chorus] And the picture on the eaves Rubbing shoulders with the leaves And thе garden that was mine Mr. Farthing still gets nothing by thе score But he still cries out for more [Verse 3] Seven days a week ago Mr. Farthing named the day Sally moved into his bungalow It would've happened anyway [Chorus] You've never heard of Chaplin House But there'll always be Chaplin House [Post-Chorus] And the showcase of tin soldiers Standing shoulder next to shoulder And a bookcase that was mine And the timepiece that's still ticking on the wall But its cuckoo never called [Verse 4] Wish that I was going home There is nothing left to show Goodbye Sally and her gigolo But that was long before your time Or hers or mine [Chorus] You've never heard of Chaplin House But there'll always be Chaplin House
