Portobello Road

"Portobello Road" is a song from the 1971 film Bedknobs and Broomsticks, written by the Sherman Brothers. It is sung while Miss Eglantine Price, Professor Emelius Brown, and the children look for the Spells of Astoroth in Portobello Road. The dance sequence was originally longer, but was cut down for time.

Emelius Browne: Portobello Road, Portobello Road
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Anything and everything a chap can unload
Is sold off the barrow in Portobello road
You'll find what you want in the Portobello road

Emelius Browne: Genuine plaster!
Street Vendor #2: A filigreed samovar owned by the czars?

Emelius Browne/Charlie Rawlins/Carrie Rawlins/Paul Rawlins: Portobello Road, Portobello Road!
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Emelius Browne: Anything and everything a chap can unload
Is sold off the barrow in Portobello Road
Attractive Girls: You'll meet all your chums in the Portobello Road

Clothing Vendor: No cheap imitations, not here in me store
With garments as such as was worn by a Duchess

The fancies and fineries of ages are showed.

Chorus: Portobello Road, Portobello Road
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Artifacts to glorify our regal abode
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portobello Road
Tokens and treasures, yesterday's pleasures
Cheap imitations of heirlooms of old
Dented and tarnished, scarred and unvarnished
In old Portobello they're bought and they're sold
Paul Rawlins: You can eat like a king here in Portobello Road
