Soundtrack: Classic Disney Lyrics
Portobello Road Text
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.
Rare alabaster? Genuine plaster!
A filigreed samovar owned by the czars.
A pen used by Shelley? A new Boticelli?
The snipper that clipped old King Edward’s cigars?
Waterford Crystals? Napoleon’s pistols?
Society heirlooms with genuine gems!
Rembrandts! El Greco’s! Toulouse-Letrec’os!
Painted last week on the banks of the Thames!
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 meet all your chums in the Portobello road
There’s pure inspiration in every creation.
No cheap imitations, not here in me store.
With garments as such as was owned by a Duchess.
Just once at some royal occasion of yore.
In Portobello Road, Portobello Road
The fancies and fineries of ages are showed.
A lady will always feel dressed a la mode
In frillies she finds in the Portobello road.
“Burke’s Peerage;” “The Bride Book;” “The Fishmonger’s Guidebook;”
A Victorian novel, “The Unwanted Son;”
“The History of Potting”, “The Yearbook of Yachting,”
The leather bound “Life of Attila the Hun.”
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
You’ll find what you want in the 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
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.
You’ll find what you want in the Portobello Road

"Portobello Road" from Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a captivating song that imnerses listeners in the enchanting world of a London street market, renowned for its eclectic array of treasures and trinkets from different eras. Written by the Sherman Brothers, this waltz is set in the backdrop of 1940s London, England, and is performed by David Tomlinson, who brings to life the vibrant and bustling market scene of Portobello Road through his engaging narrative.
The song serves as a vivid portrayal of the market's vast offerings, ranging ftom rare alabaster and genuine plaster to Waterford Crystals and Napoleon’s pistols, illustrating the sheer diversity and richness of items available. It even humorously suggests finding items as varied as a pen used by Shelley or a new Botticelli, painted "last week on the banks of the Thames". The clever lyrics playfully suggest that anything and everything a person could want or unload can be found or sold in Portobello Road, capturing the essence of the market's reputation for being a treasure trove of hidden gems.
The musical number is known for its extensive dance sequence, showcasing different groups like Scots, Jamaicans, British Army soldiers, Australians, and Indians, each dancing to the song's theme played in their unique styles. This celebration of diversity not only adds to the song's charm but also mirrors the "Consider Yourself" number from Oliver!, where various segments of society come together in a musical celebration of community and commerce.
"Portobello Road" remains a memorable piece in Disney's musical legacy, encapsulating the allure and historical richness of one of London's most famous streets. It highlights the market's role as a meeting place for different cultures and histories, all converging in a single location to exchange goods, stories, and experiences. Through this song, Bedknobs and Broomsticks transports audiences to the heart of London's eclectic market life, inviting them to explore the wonders and mysteries stowed away in Portobello Road.
