Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please keep your belongings with you at all times
If you see anything that doesn't look right, tell someone who cares
[Verse 2]
Dear Aunt Lucy
I'm in London
I am writing
To let you know
That the skies are not as sunny as Peru
And it smells a little funny
And there's no you
But I know there's a home for me somewhere
With a room big enough for just one bear
After all these years, today's the day
I hear what London has to say
[Verse 3]
Get out the way!
Get out the way!
Get out of the way!
[Verse 4]
Passengers waiting for the train to Paris are at the wrong station
[Verse 5]
Pleased to meet you, are you free to help me?
I'm too busy, step aside
Could somebody show me where to go?
Not my problem
[Verse 6]
I have traveled miles and miles and miles over the ocean
My suitcase has no clothes, but I've packed all of my hopes in
Aunt Lucy said when one door closes
Another one will open
[Chorus]
Dear Aunt Lucy
Just you wait and you'll see
That tomorrow starts today
Get out of the way!
Here in London every street you walk on
Is paved with golden marmalade
Get out of the way!
I've been sailing towards the rest of my life
Dear Aunt Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, I've arrived
[Verse 7]
If you need to reach your destination quicker, may I suggest you lie down and roll
[Verse 8]
Everybody seems in such a hurry
People to see
Shopping to do
Somewhere to be
No one has the time to say hello
We commute in silence without making any eye contact
But I've just got so many questions
Then keep them under your hat
[Chorus]
Dear Aunt Lucy
Just you wait and you'll see
My tomorrow starts today
Get out of the way!
I've been sailing towards the rest of my life
Dear Aunt Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, I've arrived
[Verse 9]
That was the worst trip ever
Can we go there again, Dad?
Never
I just wanted time together as a happy
Happy?
Family
Hardly
[Verse 10]
There's not anything as bad
As camping with your mum and dad
No one wants to see Mum swimming naked
[Verse 11]
According to statistics
Any benefits
Of wild swimming
Are outweighed by the risk
Of having lots of fish
Swimming up and nibbling on your dangly bits
Ew, Dad
[Verse 12]
I just want a happy life
Happy children
Happy wife
We just needed an adventure far away
We just need to get back home
It's like we're sailing towards two separate lives
Next stop, London!
London?
Thank God we've arrived
[Verse 13]
This train will be held until further notice due to a leaf on the line
[Verse 14]
Excuse me, can you help me?
Get out of the
I thought you might say that
But there must be somewhere I can stay
Get out of the way!
[Verse 15]
Aunt Lucy said that a long time ago
People were sent here who needed a home
Somewhere in London there must be someone
No one
Somewhere
Nowhere
Someone, somewhere, anyone
Go home!
Home? But I don't have a home anymore
[Chorus]
Dear Aunt Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
I've arrived
[Verse 16]
Watch your step, 70% of slips and trips happen in transport hubs
Hello, bear
Uh-oh, stranger danger
May I help you?
I don't mean to be rude, but what are you doing here on your own?
[Verse 17]
My Aunt Lucy sent me 'cross the ocean
Looking for a place to call my home
So far, I haven't really made a useful connection
But maybe you could point me in a friendly direction?
"Please look after this bear"
[Verse 18]
Eh, look here, where are your responsible adults?
Who?
Your mum and dad
Oh, well, they died when I was little
Oh, let me guess, your home's been destroyed and all you've got left is one ancient relation and not a penny to your name
How did you know?
My home was destroyed in an earthquake and Aunt Lucy is too old to look after me
She had to go to a special home for retired bears
Where?
In darkest Peru, there aren't many of us left there
I'm quite a rare bear
And what will you do if you don't find a home?
I thought I'd just sleep over there in that bin
That's the spirit
How about you come home with us?
Mary! A bear is the last thing this family needs right now
It's only for one night
Couldn't we just leave him in lost property?
He's not an umbrella
Just until we can find the right people to look after you
Would you like that?
Thank you, I would like that more than anything
[Chorus]
Dear Aunt Lucy
I just found a family and my tomorrow starts today
Get out of the way
Here in London where the streets you walk on are paved with golden marmalade
He won't stay on the street tonight
I can't face another fight
Just agree to disagree
You're welcome to stay
It's time for me to begin the rest of my life
Dear Aunt Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
Dear Aunt Lucy
Lucy, who's she?
[Outro]
Dear Aunt Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
I've arrived!
