[00:16.85] Bella donna's on the high street
[00:23.15] Her breasts upon the off beat
[00:25.69]
[00:26.81] And the stalls are just the side shows
[00:29.50]
[00:31.18] Victoriana's old clothes
[00:32.95]
[00:34.78] And yes her jeans are tight now
[00:37.52]
[00:39.10] She gotta travel light now
[00:40.82]
[00:42.80] She's gotta tear up all her roots now
[00:45.14]
[00:46.82] She got a turn up on the boots now
[00:49.45]
[00:50.37] Yeah she thinks she's tough
[00:54.18]
[00:54.84] She ain't no English rose
[00:56.61]
[00:57.99] But the blind singer
[01:02.61] He's seen enough and he knows
[01:04.43]
[01:09.31] Yes and he do a song
[01:10.93]
[01:11.85] About a long gone Irish girl
[01:14.23]
[01:17.34] Ah but I got one for you my Portobello belle
[01:21.44]
[01:22.92] She sees a man upon his back there
[01:25.41]
[01:27.70] Escaping from a sack there
[01:29.72]
[01:31.76] And bella donna lingers
[01:32.77] Her gloves they got no fingers
[01:36.99] Yeah the blind man singing Irish
[01:43.89] He get his money in a tin dish
[01:46.07]
[01:47.10] Just a corner serenader
[01:47.86] Upon a time he could have made her made her
[01:55.27] Yeah she thinks she's tough
[01:58.52]
[01:59.03] She ain't no English rose
[02:00.60]
[02:01.77] Ah but the blind singer
[02:07.61] He's seen enough and he knows
[02:13.50] Yes and do a song
[02:14.92] About a long gone Irish girl
[02:17.91]
[02:21.44] But I got one for you my Portobello belle
[02:26.16]
[02:27.18] Yes and these barrow boys are hawking
[02:29.56]
[02:31.25] And a parakeet is squawking
[02:33.17]
[02:34.95] Upon a truck a paper rhino
[02:37.34]
[02:38.61] She get the crying of a wino
[02:41.14]
[02:42.37] And then she get the reggea rumble
[02:44.45]
[02:46.43] Bella donna's in the jungle
[02:48.40]
[02:50.29] But she ain't no garden flower
[02:52.68]
[02:54.20] These ain't no distress in the tower
[02:56.99]
[02:59.99] Oh bella donna walks
[03:01.72] Bella donna taking a stroll
[03:03.39]
[03:06.54] But she don't care about your window box
[03:09.38]
[03:10.30] Or your button hole
[03:12.02]
[03:15.63] Yes and she sing a song about a long gone Irish girl
[03:23.50]
[03:24.11] But I got one for you my Portobello belle
