Running Through The City

Brian Protheroe

So this jumbo brought me down
upon the land of myth and dreams
And I couldn't with wonder
as I played through all the scenes
at Sunset and at Graumann's
and the big sign on the hill
And I ordered from the menu
but I never paid the bill

And I'm jetlagged and I'm weary
and I miss my teddy bear
and the only time I called you
more than once you were not there
So come on Daisy lead me
through the crystal air
and I'm running through the city
from nowhere unto nowhere

On Thursday we set out to find
the stars of Beverly
we was in this big black limousine
just to see who we could see
and I dreamed I saw Jeanette MacDonald
hanging washing on her line
when a song came on the radio
and the voice I heard was mine

And I'm jetlagged and I'm weary
and I miss my teddy bear
and the only time I called you
more than once you were not there
So come on Daisy lead me
through the crystal air
and I'm running through the city
from nowhere unto nowhere

Now the scene's Big Apple City
and the club's The Bottom Line
and as the English minstrel
hit the stage someone ordered sangria wine
and I thought about The Waterfront
where I used to love to play
as we watched the magic pixie boy
just giving it all away

And I'm jetlagged and I'm weary
and I miss my teddy bear
and the only time you called me
more than once I was not there
So come on Daisy lead me
through the crystal air
and I'm running through the city
from nowhere unto nowhere
and I'm running through the city
from nowhere unto nowhere
