Well the roof started leaking, and the stairs were squeaking 
There was water running down the walls 
So we took down the carpet, scrubbed down the parquet 
And the drains overflowed in the hall 
In the pub across the street it was two feet deep 
And the chairs were floating away 
In the Chinese store all the food was on the floor 
And they were wondering who was going to pay 

But it's alright now she said 
I'm a little bit tired, a little bit wet 
But it's alright now she said 
Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues 

Conrad's bistro, the nights a go-go 
With people talking over the flood 
And Jenny from the news desk is looking at her shoes 
Just to see is she's avoided the mud 
And Annie comes slowly with a pile of ravioli 
Fried chicken and a soup of the day 
Moving round the table, she's a little Betty Grable 
In the way she's got her hair today 

But it's alright now she said 
I'm a little bit tired, a little bit wet 
But it's alright now she said 
Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues 

Philadelphia seems like a part of my dreams 
And I cannot believe that I held the sleeve of her coat 
But now the night is clear as a chandelier 
And the trees are turning the water into a moat 

We finally got cleared and the neighbors disappeared 
We were sitting down for a rest 
When the TV blew and the lights all fused 
And the wine spilled all over her dress 
So I lit up a candle, poured up a brandy 
I was trying to get into a groove 
And I was kissing her on the chin when the roof fell in 
And I decided I was going to move 

But it's alright now she said 
I'm a little bit tired, a little bit wet 
But it's alright now she said 
Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues 

That's as far as it goes now .... 

Well, I don't suppose
