Elwood P Dowd Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) Underneath the Arches According to a television programme broadcast in 1957, Bud Flanagan said that he wrote the song in Derby in 1927, and first performed it a week later at the Pier Pavilion, Southport. It refers to the arches of Derby's Friargate Railway Bridge and to the cobbled street where homeless men slept during the Great Depression. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underneath_the_Arches_(song) The Ritz we never signed for Savoys they can keep There's only one place that we know And that is where we sleep Underneath the arches We dream our dreams away (bon-bon-bo-da-be-do) Underneath the arches (bon-bon-bo-di-da-bo) On cobblestones we lay (bon-dan-bo-bo-ba-bo) Back to back we're sleeping (bo-di-ba-bo-bo-bo-di-do) Tired out and worn (bon-bo-do-bo-bo-di-do) Sorry when the daylight comes creeping Heralding the dawn Sleeping when it's raining And sleeping when it's fine Trains rattling by above (bon-bo-bo-da-bi-da-bo) Pavement is our pillow Without a sheet we'll lay Underneath the arches We dream our dreams away Edited June 3 by Elwood P Dowd Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
